r310 AP distance problem ,client didn't roaming to the closest AP as expected

patrick_hsieh — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 10:24:13 GMT

Hi Sirs,
I got 3 AP r310 in office (the signal is -41/-82/-60 dBm).

I expected the client will connect to the closest AP(-41 dBm) when moving around the office.

Currently, I just set it as default configure.

How should I configure the channel of each AP for better performance?

thanks

Hi @patrick_hsieh

What is the code/controller you are using or are these Unleash/standalone ? You can try with smart roam on these APs, below article which explains what is Smart Roam sticky client feature and how to enable Smart Roam on SZ and on the AP :

Hi Vicent,

thanks for your reply!

I am using Unleash mode of my 5 r310 APs.

I found the instruction to turn on smart roaming .

Are there any tutorial to accee the AP via CLI mode?

I can access the AP via Web UI.
I try the ssh super@192.168.86.66 but failed

Unable to negotiate with 192.168.86.66 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa

thanks

@patrick_hsieh

Are you trying to access AP via switch CLI ? Can you try from ssh client like "putty" and let me know if same issue persist.

Best Regards
