How is Capsman different from 2 identical wifi hotspots?

Question

WiFi

Looking for a solution for home seamless roaming. You need about 5-8 access points in total.
I became interested in the Capsman budget solution, because you can connect points there as much as you like and they are cheap.
But there is not quite "seamless" roaming - the connection breaks when moving between points.

How much I haven’t read about this solution, I don’t understand how it differs from if I just set up 2 wi-fi routers to distribute the same network?

Both in the first and in the second case, when changing the point, the connection breaks.
So far, I see only one advantage - the configuration is done centrally, there is no need to configure each router separately.
But for the rest, after all, in fact, the same thing happens or not?

Help me to understand.
Now I have this:
Just 3 wi-fi routers that distribute the same wi-fi network (only the bssid is different).
One of them is the main one - dhcp with Internet access.
Works norms, only does not suit the breakage of connections when changing the point. Too often it works on the boundary zones - it constantly switches back and forth.
Should I switch to capsman? Will there be any improvement compared to what is?

Answer 1

By itself, capsman provides centralized control, plus it can drive all traffic through the controller, which is convenient in terms of configuring routing, nat, firewall, qos.
There are also goodies of mikrotik itself, for example, drop clients by signal level, or fixing certain clients at 5 GHz.
By and large, real seamlessness is not so often needed, plus, if it is really seamless, it requires support from the client.
