Usually it is up to the client which AP they will associate to. If they see a consistently stronger signal they will roam to the other AP. If you are using the latest client software, go to profile manager -> RF network tab and unselect the "Scan for a better access point" checkbox. From my experience having this box checked will cause the client to constantly switch between AP's.

Subject: Aironet 1100 problem

Hi all

Can someone please help with this problem I have.

I have 2 AP's installed at a client office with +- 50 users. The AP's
are approx. 20 meters apart from each other. The clients are getting
IP's from a central DHCP server and there is sufficient IP's for all.
Separate channels have been configured on each AP so that they should
not overlap with their frequencies. The issue I'm having is when all
of the clients connect to the AP's simultaneously they cannot
establish a permanent connection. All of the clients devices signals
switch from one AP to the other continuously.

Configs as follows:

AP-1

interface Dot11Radio0

ssid TRAINone

authentication open

infrastructure-ssid

speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 basic-11.0

rts threshold 2312

power client 50

channel 2412

station-role root

no cdp enable

bridge-group 1

bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control

bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source

no bridge-group 1 source-learning

no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding

bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

AP-2
