Wifi Roaming

[Salvo Parisi]

Hello,

in our company we have a Cisco WIFI with more than 100AP.

We have a problem with the WiFi roaming. 

When an Android mobile phone (eg. Samsung S4) passes from an AP to another we get on the mobile phone a network disconnection (even if the WiFi icon never disappears).

- Without "Wifi Roaming Fix" the roaming is slow and is not transparent for the applications.

- With "Wifi Roaming Fix" the roaming is faster but is still not transparent for the applications.

I try to explain better what I mean with "not trasparent" : When the phone roams, for instance, from AP1 to AP2 all the TCP connections (held by the mobile phone in WiFi) go down (some apps shows the error "Network unreacheable", or "No connection" or "Socket Error" and so on).

From your experience (in a well configured WiFi network) this is a normal roaming behavior ?

In my opinion, in a transparent roaming scenario I should observe that all TCP connections held by the phone should be kept alive.

Thank you,
