What equipment can be used to correctly switch the client from an access point with a weaker signal?

Question

WiFi

The vendor, the mechanism of switching with examples interests (instead of "won'tamchototakoevrodeest"). The network is being installed in the orphanage. Need cheap and cheerful. A lot of points will be poked (the complex architecture of the building) and it is necessary that the child easily and in the background switch between them.

Answer 1

you can't do without a controller with seamless roaming, and this is money

Answer 2

Yesterday I stuck CapsMan v2 with point management and seamless roaming. I ran around the OFS with Skype on, 80% of the switches without any packet loss at all, some make the picture skip from 200 to 1000 milliseconds (well, that is, it twitched from the kick to the hop and hung for a second). I have ten points, an office of 1000 sq.m.
The controller is on the root router 1100AH ​​(but there is no load at all). I use points like this routerboard.com/RB433GL
But you can collect much more budget. Ready to help if needed.

Answer 3

Here I would also like to voice one "want". But this is no longer necessary. I would like to poke their nose into "switching to a less loaded access point with equivalent signals." I understand that it already depends on the access point controller. BUT there is no hope that this is in the budget segment .. I have no =)

Answer 4

If the points are already poked and you need cheap and cheerful, just put the same SSID on all points.
Solutions that implement your idea are offered by Cisco in particular. It consists of special points and a special Cisco controller. It costs like a tire from an airplane.
If you want to play around, you can try to put OpenWRT on points, and then write scripts to measure RSSI to clients and ban them at those points to which the signal is too weak.

Answer 5

With the same SSID and security settings at the points, this is exactly what will happen - the Wi-Fi standard. When the points work in bridge mode, there will be a 1-2 second break during roaming. I will not poke at IEEE 802.11. Budget option - unifi access points from ubiquiti (about 5tr per point), free software controller, installed on any computer.

Answer 6

and then they led

Itotovveli is some kind of resort in Europe. What did you mean by this?
And it is necessary that the main page displays nonsense?
Let me tell you, you need to clearly formulate the question. You formulated it poorly and not a question, but "here is my code, something does not work here." It is not clear which button you are talking about, it is not clear why it should change, this is not in the code. I honestly did not want to "troll", sorry, and went to help, but there is no way to help at all. As much as I don't want to. Try to rewrite the question again. Only in such a way that it would be short, and then you can add an "explanatory note".
P.S.: In your signature it says "fullstOck developer with a hole"
- this can literally be translated as "full stock with a hole", probably should be changed to "fullstAck" and not show the hole ))) I think "Web designer with experience in fullstack development" - more understandable and less funny.
