About the handover time, which channel scheme are you using? Is it the old one1..14 coming from the 802.11b 15 years old, or the 36..64, 100..140 802.11ac scheme? Depending on this scheme choice, your wireless architecture choice will be different. Anyway, the network name must be the same for any form of handover. There is no such thing as an handover from network A to network B.

| Mar 23, 2015 at 19:34 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I use different SSIDs - because they really don't like to switch over if they can still get a sniff of the current connection. Sometimes it's easier to just force them over to the nearest. | |
