An alternative to roaming is a mesh network. This can be done
cheaply using wrt54g routers (not made anymore but quite easy
to get second hand) if you re-flash them to run OpenWRT firmware.

<div>If you have more then one access point in a house, a really nice
feature to have is roaming - so you can move about the house and devices
automatically/ quickly move from one AP to another without dropping network
connections. This is a very common feature on 'enterprise'
