Hi all,
I have an issue with my Wi-Fi network where devices are not automatically connecting to the strongest signal as I move between AP’s, I am having to manually disconnect and reconnect the devices
anyone point me in the right direction to sort this
Many Thanks

Hi,
The best way to ensure that your clients pick up the strongest access point (AP) is to perform a site survey, and configure the TX power and choose a channel that provides the correct coverage.
The "final" decision to join which AP and/or which radio falls on the wireless client. If the wireless client wants to associate to the furthest AP then there's nothing you can do.
One way of minimizing this from happening is to ensure your wireless clients are running the latest drivers. On the AP-side, you could also try to disable the low-speed data rates (from 11 Mbps and below, make 18 Mbps as Mandatory and the rest are Supported). Do NOT enable Client Load Balancing.
