How to configure android device WIFI roaming

hook huang

Hi,

I have configured WIFI SSID for mobility device to connect network. (ex:iphone,android phone, pad etc...)

And we use notebook connect to SSID, and check WIFI roaming status, it always only one maybe two times by Ping.

But when we try to user Android PAD to connect SSID, when it roam from AP1 to  AP2,

The android PAD will lost WIFI connection about 5~8 second.

Is this normal status, or android device need to configure something ?

Wireless device:

WiSM2(8.0.110), AP1702I

Android device type:

 --samsung galaxy S--

 --iPad mini--

That is not normal especially of the APs are in the same WiSM2.  You might want to review how your wlan is configured. Try not to have multiple encryption types. Use WPA2/AES only if possible not WPA2/AES and WPA/TKIP together.

Hi, Scott

I have change the SSID confuration.

The SSID have only one encryption type ,WPA2/AES.

But it still have some problem.

Encryption does consume the resources hence delay however hardware could also be a reason. Found one discussion where diff. android models have issue with roaming
