802.11r/802.11k Fast Roaming

System > VLAN Setup > VLAN # > 802.11r Fast Roaming
When the APs are configured with the same SSID and encryption, these settings enable
WiFi clients to seamlessly roam between APs with minimal or no downtime during
transitions. For these fast roaming functions to work properly, the WiFi clients must also
support 802.11r and 802.11k. 802.11r speeds up WiFi client roaming and transition by
pre-authentication eliminating the need for the client to pre-authenticate at every
access point. 802.11k enhances roaming efficiency by providing information (signal
strength & utilization) to WiFi clients about APs in the network allowing the clients
choose the next AP to connect to or transition.
Note: Please note that fast roaming features require the WiFi clients to also support
802.11r and 802.11k. Please check your wireless client device or adapter specifications.
