R510 5ghz abysmal

[bubbagump210]

Perhaps some kind soul can clarify something for me. I have two R510s covering roughly 3000 sqft. 2.4ghz coverage seems reasonable. I was under the impression that the Unleashed mesh would handle roaming and essentially be an Eero/Velop equivalent. However, it seems it is really just unified management and smart shifting of the controller role should an AP fail. Is this correct? Assuming yes, it seems I need to get armpit deep in site surveys and radio tuning like the old days to get this to work well which is a shame as I was hoping for plug and go. Any thoughts or relevant docs on the subject?

Hi,

We have to configure the Smartroam from the AP CLI.

Check if the Smartroam is enabled with the Roam-factor or not. Below command will give the result, search for Smartroam from the output for the particular wlan.
ruckus(config)# show wlan all

To configure the Smart Roam, follow the below commands.

ruckus(config)# wlan (wlan name)
ruckus(config-wlan)# smart-roam 
       Enter the roam factor(1-10) or keep it empty.
ruckus(config-wlan)# smart-roam 5

ruckus(config-wlan)#exit 

If you want to understand the roam factor number mapping, refer the below table.
