I want to setup 802.11r since I already have several LEDE routers installed to provide wireless coverage in the entire house. To quick sum up: Linksys WRT1900ACS with LEDE SNAPSHOT r5917 (David502 version) TP-Link WDR4300 with LEDE Reboot 17.01.4 r3560 Ubiquiti AP-AC-LR (with Ubiquiti firmware t…

You need to install the wpad package (the default wpad-mini does not include 802.11r support). Once you install wpad, the 802.11r options should appear on Luci.

I have never seen these options in LUCI. Do you happen to have link to that screenshot? The best source of information that I was able to find and successfully got it up and running with, was this Reddit topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/comments/515oea/finally_got_80211r_roaming_working/

And what gave you the idea that those devices wasn't using it ? It worked fine for me even when I had file transfer and moving around and those are failing now that I disabled Ft.

It was a while ago, I remember that the logs didn't change, and the transitions took the same amount of time... also I started looking for listings of device specs, and found no support.

For YOUR windows and android devices, or for all windows and android devices ? If your logs didn't show, have you consider the possibility that you reconfigured ? just saying.....
