https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/Warehouses-best-prcatices-roaming-issue/m-p/12645#M2979 Hi all, I have a new deployment in a warehouse environment. I wonder if there are configuration best practices for a correct deployment. <BR /> The customer holds Motorola handheld devices and complains about low WiFi coverage and high response time from his application (telnet based). <BR /> I investigated and discovered that client devices (Motorola barcode scanner) usually does not roam between APs: they stay associated to an AP without- or little - roaming to other APs. <BR /> Are there specific configuration to make WiFi clients more "inclined" to roam? For example working on power, basic datarates, etc.... <BR /> Other suggestions? <BR /> Thanks in advance <BR /> f.

Prefer an horizontal installation and the highest location to maximize the opportunity of a direct path to the client. <BR /><BR /> The service is almost good for us.. we observe only a 1-1.5s freeze during the roaming process but no application downtime.
