Seamless roaming on Unifi

So, in the past few months, I have overhauled my entire home network setup. The details call for a separate blog post at some time, I guess. But yes, I’ve switched to Unifi access points.

The one thing that took me a while to get right was the seamless roaming. I came to Unifi from Orbi, and man, Orbi worked awesome for seamless handoff between access points. On Unifi, it sometimes took ages before my clients switched to the nearest access point. After months of fiddling around, I think I’ve got it very close to how Orbi used to roam. You can follow the steps below to see if this works for you as well. These are all written according to Unifi Controller v6.5.53.
