Change the linked AP

There are two R720s in my room, with the same configuration. When I connect wirelessly, I always connect to the R720 that is far away from me. How to adjust it so that I can connect to the R720 that is close to me.

Hi @cangqingse

On the SSID settings, have you enabled Fast Roaming like below? This will help clients to connect to the nearest APs when roaming.

If you still face the issue of not connecting to the nearest AP, then you need to check on the Roam factor from the below link.

Roam Factor article:
https://support.ruckuswireless.com/articles/000005132

Commands you need to configure is as below from article:

SYNTAX:

SZ100> en
Password: ********
SZ100# config
SZ100(config)# zone <Zone Name>
SZ100(config-zone)# wlan <wlan-name>
SZ100(config-zone-wlan)# roam
SZ100(config-zone-wlan)# roam-factor 2.4g <roam-factor value>
SZ100(config-zone-wlan)# roam-factor 5g <roam-factor value>
SZ100(config-zone-wlan)# end
Do you want to update this context configuration (or input 'no' to cancel)? [yes/no] yes
SZ100#

EXAMPLE:

SZ100-92> en
Password: ********
SZ100-92# config
SZ100-92(config)# zone Smartroam
SZ100-92(config-zone)# wlan Roam
SZ100-92(config-zone-wlan)# roam
SZ100-92(config-zone-wlan)# roam-factor 2.4g 5
SZ100-92(config-zone-wlan)# roam-factor 5g 5
SZ100-92(config-zone-wlan)# end
Do you want to update this context configuration (or input 'no' to cancel)? [yes/no] yes
