How to set up seamless wifi?

Question

WiFi

Good day
, there is a network with ip 192.168.1.0/24
, there is a need to put three wan-port routers in that network and set up seamless movement of clients within the network coverage.
Will budget asus rt-n11p be used
to make wds (I haven't set it up before and I can be wrong) or one main, two repeaters?
thanks in advance for the replies

Answer 1

Well, if it's vlob, then it's easy to set up. The same SSID name is set.
The only question is that nothing good will come of it. Need a controller. Cell phones, laptops and so on are too dumb to understand that you need to switch to another point.
All attempts to make a cheap and seamless network on budget devices have failed. It certainly works, but not seamlessly, but as it pleases.
Instead of ASUS, take Mikrotik. In take off, you can at least think of something and what to set up. In ASUS, you will not configure anything worthwhile. Because there are only two settings.
And in general, I urge you to google the topic a little. I think your plans will be broken into reality.
The most budget option is https://www.ubnt.com and routerboard.com/RBcAP2n, but as I wrote above without a controller (special router), this is all a kindergarten.

Answer 2

I note that WDS is not seamless Wifi and it has big problems with speed. About the rest you wrote above.

Answer 3

set up seamless movement of clients within the network coverage.

That is - the client goes from point 1 to point 2, the signal of point 1 has become weaker than the signal of point 2 - the client has switched to point 2. If done on Mikrotiks, then it is realistic to implement.
If you do it on ASUS, it turns out that the client is going from point 1 to point 2, the signal of point 1 has become weaker than the signal of point 2 - the client is still connected to point 1. The signal from point 1 has become COMPLETELY weak - the client will fall off from it, and only then will switch to point 2, and maybe to 3, if it reaches it.

Answer 4

LAN ports connect and turn off dhcp on wifi-pieces of iron (one dhcp should remain on the network). With a seamless network of budget devices, you can only play on Mikrotik or Ubik.

Answer 5

Take normal wifi glands that can roam. At least Mikrotiks (roaming is in its infancy there, but at least somehow) or Apple Air Express.

Answer 6

No need to slander ASUS, everything can be done. True, with younger models it will not be possible to do it without seams, but with older ones everything is feasible. See ASUS roaming assistant devices.
