Ah, you need the zero handoff roaming that the unifi has then ;)

Subject: Re: [ukha_d] RE: Wireless Access Points?
Hi Phil,
I'm still learning about this but I thought it was the devices that
managed=
which AP they were connected to rather than the APs deciding which device =
they "retain".
I found an updated driver for my laptop's WLAN card which allowed me to
cho=
ose how "aggressive" the switching was - whether an AP was
retained until t=
he very last drop of signal strength remained, or whether it was a bit
more=
flirtatious and connected to a new AP even if the signal strength there wa=
s only marginally higher...
My wireless network is made up of several "consumer" routers
re-purposed as=
access points (i.e. I don't have the Ubiquiti-type products).
Maybe there are some updated drivers for your devices?
HTH,
Tim.

I have a set-up like this, with maybe five access points (including one in
