[Solved] Howto disconnect wifi clients by signal strength

[jas02]

Hi,

I have several TP-Link AC1750 to cover company campus. I have single SSID, master AP and others are repeaters in bridged mode. I want to achieve situation, when AP Clients (desktops, mobiles) which has weak signal strength on one AP will be disconnected by force (-75 dBm as an example) and they will re-connect to the AP (repeater) with better signal strength.

I found project https://github.com/mk248/lede-modhostapd, but it's outdated. How can I achieve such behaviour?

Wi-Fi roaming recipe

Note: This recipe was originally posted on July/2020 and updated on July/2022. About Wi-Fi roaming, I'd like to share my experience. I hope it will be useful to all of you. I've been "googling" a lot about wi-fi roaming. What I wanted was a seamless switch from one AP to another one. 802.11 extensions k, v and r are supposed to help, but as 2020, not every client implements them. Android and Windows use extension r when available. It does help. I've read that iOS devices seem to take better u…

you could try 802.11r too.
