 |
I've setup a wireless network consisting of 2 wifi routers at my house. If works fine, except that some devices refuse to hop from one station to another when walking around. They seem to hold on to connected wifi station for dear life, even when signal is so low - it's unusable and right next to the opposite station with full transmission power. Logically, I want to set roaming handoff to a higher level, say to -65 dB. However, I'm unable find "how to" instructions anywhere and it's kinda driving me crazy. So if anyone can give me a tip or two on how to crack this sob, I'd greatly appreciate it.
My setup: tp-link td-w8968 as a base wifi station and d-link dir-300b1 as a secondary with dd-wrt v24-sp2 firmware. APs are connected via cat5 cable, use same SSID and passphrase using channel 6 and 11 with DHCP disabled on the secondary station. D-link with dd-wrt is where I want to change roaming handoff.
Here is what I've learned so far:
- tweaking mobile device's roaming sensitivity is possible, but this is not what I'm looking for.
- dd-wrt installed on APs with broadcom chipsets has WL tool that does exactly what I want. Mine has ralink and no wl tool.
- I can login to my d-link via telnet. Any packages I can download to get a similar tool like WL to my device? |
