Is it possible to disable 802.11r (if no internet detected and fallback not working), etc. thx
what would be the point ?

if you mean a out of box solution I think theres not really a option.
On the other hand if you can write shell scripts my best guess is to write a hotplug event in /etc/hotplug.d/ and then I think invoke either iface or dhcp.
A other option what comes up is mwan3 though I have no knowledge for mwan3, and if it has events you could use.
sometimes the ethernet would be down for some reason and the users that roam on that router would not have internet access. I am not always there to fix/notice it right away..
would mwan3 work for LAN ? thx
Disabling 11r wouldn't stop them from connecting to it though ?

Considering the issue i don't think roaming or mwan3 would solve your issue.
Its better to show us some information like log, configs: dhcp, network, wireless.
so if the ethernet/internet is down, then turn off the wifi, if ethernet/internet works again then turn wifi on with 802.11r with existing settings..
its just a new network with 2 AP (not close to each other), then both enabled 802.11r, same SSID, the 1st AP connects to internet, then its ethernet outputs to the ethernet at the other AP. the other AP does not use dhcp and use static ip
thx
Exactly, and that's where @xize's post comes in, but AP2 will never know internet's down, unless you tell it, in some way.
Unless there’s external RADIUS.
Eternal ping with check for connectivity may work, although likely overkill…
