Roaming for wireless clients is very important. Some smaller environments pay little attention to roaming; while some environments require near perfect roaming and can’t afford for wireless clients to drop a connection and then reconnect. Wireless engineers spend lots of time figuring out how to deploy a wireless network that will offer seamless roaming. And…
