How to set up a wi-fi network from several routers?

Question

WiFi

I connected two routers with a twisted pair cable and called the wireless network by the same name. Devices can connect to the network but do not switch to a stronger signal. That is, if you are connected to router-1, and you stand closer to router-2, then it is still connected to router-1. How to fix it?

Answer 1

no way ). except for the purchase of specialized solutions

Answer 2

Tried this option. Along the long corridor hung access points that receive the Internet from a single source. He gave the name of the WiFi network and the key at all points the same, but assigned different radio channels - 1, 6 and 12 (so as not to jam each other). And everything seemed to work out: I walk along the corridor, and I stay in touch all the time. But in order for this to work, it was necessary to spread the access points so far apart that the connection, when moving away from one of them, was broken due to signal weakening - then there is a switch to another, which is closer. It turns out a kind of automatic switching, and it is from the signal level.

Answer 3

By the way, perhaps yes, one of the solutions will be setting the power in each router to the lowest possible .. It will start tearing and looking

Answer 4

The client decides when to switch.
Some in the adapter settings have a roaming severity setting. Huawei here recently promoted its decision, when their access points with a controller themselves decided for the client through which AP to make him happy.
