I have a large residential wifi project that will likely need 3-4 AP's. When a user is walking through the house on an android device, I do not want it to disconnect as it roams from one AP to another, even if it's for a millisecond. It is a smart home and the small disconnects are causing issues.
We originally put in an Apple Airport Extreme and 3 airport expresses. Coverage was great but there was the slight disconnect when roaming from one AP to another.
The second try was Ubiquiti AP's but their zero handoff feature causes more problems than it fixes. Outside of that, their AP's are fantastic and about the best bang for your buck on the market, but they will still have quick disconnects when roaming from one AP to another.
I am not familiar with enterprise wifi applications. Will a system with, say, a Cisco controller and some Cisco AP's achieve what I am looking for? Will the controller do the handoffs so the device never disconnects?
What about Open-Mesh? These devices are super affordable and appear to do what I am looking for, but I haven't seen it specifically say that I will not experience any slight drop when roaming AP's. Anyone with experience using Open-Mesh?
Thanks so much in advance for your expertise and advice!
