Access Point Roaming - Dawn Usteer not workin

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have three Belkin RT3200 (running 23.05.2) which work well, and I was hoping to improve roaming and band steering among them. However, even with independently setting up Dawn and Usteer and tweaking the settings, it performed worse than without them.

Am I missing something or is it that these packages are no longer useful with the fast transition 80211r?

My /etc/config/wireless:

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
        option device 'radio1'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'XXX'
        option key 'XXX'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option ft_over_ds '0'
        option ft_psk_generate_local '1'
        option time_advertisement '2'
        option time_zone 'GMT0'
        option ieee80211k '1'
        option bss_transition '1'
        option ieee80211r '1'

loopy321,

I am getting ready to deploy 23.05.3 onto an RT3200 myself and am curious if you gained any greater insights into this question at all?

As far as I understand you'd want either dawn or usteer, not both (you state "setting up Dawn and Usteer")

I've also seen some commentary whereby it is asserted that both usteer and dawn provide a worse experience than install neither at all. dawn did have a long history of being very unreliable but I am not sure if that has changed either.
