Hi guys,
is there a way to force a client (laptop) to connect to a specific Access Point, even if there are several APs configured to broadcast the same SSID?
Here are some more details:
Broadcasting different SSIDs on each Access Point is not an option, it has to be the same SSID on several APs and the clients must be bind to a specific AP.
Thanks in advance

You can't do this in this environment (Light Weight) as client roaming decision is made by client. There are no control over this on WLC/AP.

there're few options.
#Tweak the Datarates on AP, typically disable lower datarates, this way client can't see the AP that's far away.
#on client, Change the roaming aggressiveness setting and or increase threshold.
#If required, Limit no. of client connected per radio on that AP that's available on WLC.

I will check if any of this options is possible in our current scenario.
Thank you Saravanan
