Chapter 3: Using the UniFi Controller Software
• Mobility To enable seamless roaming (Zero Handoff),
select the checkbox.
Note: The UAP-AC, UAP-AC-Outdoor, UAP-AC-LITE,
UAP-AC-LR, UAP-AC-PRO, and UAP-AC-EDU do not
support Zero Handoff Roaming.
When you enable this option, multiple Access Points
(APs) act as an AP cluster, appearing as a single AP. The
wireless client detects only one AP, so it seamlessly
roams from AP to AP – there is no need to re-negotiate.
The APs determine which AP has the best connection
and should serve the client. They use multicasting to
communicate so they must be wired in the same Layer 2
domain.
Zero Handoff Roaming does not support wireless
uplinks and can only be used on a secured network. It
is also not meant for all scenarios. For example, if there
is too much load or interference, then Zero Handoff
Roaming may not be appropriate for your scenario.
Configure the following options:
- Radio Select the appropriate radio, 2G or 5G.
- Channel Select the channel that all of the APs will use
for Zero Handoff Roaming.
Load Balancing (Not available if you enabled the Mobility
option.) Select this option to balance the number of
clients you specify per radio. Then enter the number of
clients in the field provided.
Legacy Support (Not available if you enabled the Mobility
option.) By default, legacy devices, such as 802.11b
devices, are excluded. Select this option if you want to
support legacy devices.
