Hello,
We have free-WIFI zone.
there is 11 WIFI AP's conected to Mikrotik router.
But when i am going from place to place with laptop pinging to 192.168.0.1 there is a connection timeout in some places even if signal is Perfect.

example:
Ping 192.168.0.1 -t
reply from 192.168.0.1 bytes=32 time=22ms
reply from 192.168.0.1 bytes=32 time=20ms

ect...

In every floor there is 2~3 wifi's.
Every AP has same NAME, but different Channel (from 1 to 11)..
there is around 60 users, but even in no peak time still same timeout..
What could be the problem?
 
Solution
The AP switching is dependant on your WiFi card, unlike a cell phone. In order for your system to switch AP's, it will need to reach its signal tolerance before polling for a better signal.

Some AP systems manage this and do a forced disconnect between the AP's, most do not. They actually do not expect you to be walking all over the building live streaming something.
