Introduction

Fast roaming is a feature in wireless networks that allows a client device to quickly switch from one access point to another while maintaining a stable and uninterrupted connection. This is particularly important in environments with multiple access points, such as large office buildings, airports, or public spaces, where users may move around and need seamless transition between access points without experiencing a drop in connectivity.

Configuration

This section uses the Omada Software Controller 5.14.32.2 for demonstration.

Step 1. Log in to the Controller, go to Site Settings > Site > Wireless Features, and enable Fast Roaming.
