Wi-Fi Roaming Optimization Basics

Improve Wi-Fi roaming at home

This guide explains improving Wi-Fi roaming: place access points with overlapping coverage, use consistent SSIDs, adjust power levels, and enable fast roaming where supported.

Place APs smartly

Position access points to overlap lightly; avoid stacking channels.

Use one SSID

Keep the same SSID/security across APs for seamless roaming.

Adjust power and channels

Balance transmit power to encourage roaming; set non-overlapping channels.

Enable fast roaming

Turn on 802.11r/k/v if supported to speed handoffs.
