Finally got 802.11v working (FULLY) - Few pointers

Is a snapshot the same as a master version?

uci set wireless.default_radio0.ieee80211v=1; uci set wireless.default_radio0.ieee80211k=1; uci set wireless.default_radio0.bss_transition=1; uci commit

ieee80211v=1 : wireless radio is off, can't enable
I use snapshot version https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-d-team_newifi-d2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Does roaming work well for you?

Can different brands of router be used for roaming to work or beat with all same router model?

Do you use it out of the box or do you make any changes to it for better roaming?

Can be different models of APs. Master branch = most recent snapshot:

I run hynman’s r7800 master build.

No, when I uci set ieee80211v=1
Wireless radio off, not associated

Interesting - post your cat /etc/config/wireless

Can it do band steering as well or best to use one or the other 5ghz or 2.4ghz for roaming

The script doesn’t fully bandsteer - that is client driven. It does let your clients know whats out there so that the clients can make the best choice based off their own client behavior. As an example - iOS devices will favor 5ghz on the client side if they know whats out there.

Personally all my tablets / phones are on 5ghz only. 5ghz is so much faster because of how little interference there is an how wide the channels are.
