IEEE 802.11k Roaming Targets

The IEEE 802.11k standard describes a way to inform WLAN clients about potential roaming targets, i.e. additional access points of the same SSID that are within range. This information is sent to the client in the "Neighbor Report" as defined for the standard. 802.11k has so far been used as part of the client management, so it does not need to be configured separately. In some cases or in special scenarios, it may be necessary to dispense with automatic client management and to use the sub-feature 802.11k separately.

You can find the new table under Wireless LAN > General > Extended settings > 802.11k Roaming Targets. Enter the potential roaming targets here.
