Fixing Ubiquiti WiFi Roaming

The three settings I had to enable to get proper WiFi roaming

The problem

I’m a massive fan of Ubiquiti stuff, but even after upgrading to U7 Pro APs
(and having a lot of them for enough coverage) I still had the following
problem.

When I would move from one room to another, I’d keep my full WiFi signal,
but I would lose connection to the network/internet.

In order to fix it, I’d have to disconnect from wireless and reconnect—which
means connecting to the closer AP.

In other words, it wasn’t properly switching AP by itself, and when I moved
to another room where another one was primary, I lost connection—even though
I still showed full WiFi bars.

The solution

So the solution was first—a whole lot of searching—including using the new
SearchGPT feature. Here’s a screenshot of the question and answer.

SearchGPT’s answer to which settings to enable to fix the issue

To enable those you need to switch from Auto to Manual for your Wireless
Network settings.

Then enable these three:

  1. Fast Roaming

  2. BSS Transition

  3. Brand Steering

Within Wireless Manual Settings

After doing this, I can now move throughout the house without losing
internet connectivity.

Hope this helps!
