How to Set Up Wi-Fi in Cellular Style

Question

WiFi

The organization has a room, there are 2 Wi-Fi AR.
Question - how to make 1 network visible? If I give both 1 SSID - will there be conflicts?
Or is it possible to somehow connect the ARs with each other so that they somehow agree on who connects and where?

I immediately remember something, like ubeq was called, there the points were controlled from such a tricky console on the server ... but I have neither points, nor a console :)

Answer 1

In general, it’s worth reading in the direction of seamless roaming

Answer 2

Some wi-fi routers have repeater and bridge modes.
In this mode, the SSID will be one

Answer 3

Recently there was an interesting article on this subject. The controller, however, is soft - but everything is very budget-friendly.

Answer 4

The difference between seamless roaming and just a repeater is that in the first case, when moving from the zone of one point to another, there will be no reconnection to Wi-Fi (and, accordingly, a temporary disconnect)

Answer 5

Set one of the points to repeater mode. Then she will have similar first settings. Repeater role, if you will

Answer 6

Keywords — ESS and roaming

Answer 7

you would write what kind of points.
one access point another repeater, that's it. Client pieces of iron will not even notice that the points are different, they will smoothly float from one to another.
longs, for example, have more options when one access point connects to another, but it also remains an access point of the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with AP. But clients need to reconnect to each.

Answer 8

an inexpensive solution is Ubquity UniFI, seamless roaming works great, they have one minus is administration through their software, which must be installed on a computer on the local network, here ekbit.ru/big_wifi briefly looks and what the admin panel looks like with pictures.

Answer 9

I was looking for a solution to such a problem (my question is on topic). Apparently, a working solution is impossible without the purchase of special equipment. Please share if you find a cheap solution.
