Hi Arranda, smart-toram already active by default. You can check on Monitoring-All Event- and see client roaming to another Access Point. Thanks

Best Regards,

Hi irvan, thanks for the information. yes I can see that clients are roaming between AP.

however, there are sticky client devices that refuse to roam despite bad signal recipient. I read about smart-roam on ZD that forces client to disassociate with the ssid when their received signal strenght is below a defined threshold. however, i cannot find the option on vSZ. please advise

Try configure this on your WLAN, i usually enable OFDM & change BSS Min Rate to 24 Mbps for smooth roaming

My understanding is that smartroam and bss-minrate are two very different things.... See my thread here for explanations of the difference.

Unfortunately the documentation on the SmartZone doesn't talk a lot about smartroam. The KB and CLI docs do show how to turn it on: https://support.ruckuswireless.com/answers/000005132 but there is no reference to the cli command that can be used to verify that it is working 😞 I can't find the equivalent of the get wlanlist and get roam_factor commands in SZ.

do show running-config zone "Zone Name" wlan "WLAN Name"

Scroll down to see if Smart Roam is enabled or disabled and at what factor. By default disabled on new WLAN's.

Smart Roam : Disabled
Smart Roam Factor (2.4G/5G) : 1 / 1
