Sophos WiFi APs - client roaming?

Can Sophos APs provide seamless client roaming? I haven't seen it in the literature. I'm looking for some bring similar to Aruba's client match or Ubiquiti's zero handoff.

For a little background, I'm about to install some new XG appliances (210 and 125) for a couple of offices, but I also need to install several wifi access points. I like the idea of a vertically integrated solution by adding several Sophos AP55 or AP55cs... The hardware looks good, but roaming is an important feature for at least one of the offices. The XG essentially acts like a wireless controller so this seems like it *should* be possible but I don't know.

  • Hi Rick,

    Yes, Sophos AP(s) provide client roaming (only available with WPA2 Personal/Enterprise encryption mode). Simply enable Fast Transition in the Wireless Configurations | Advance tab, as mentioned in the previous post by Vilic.

    Thanks

    You need to configure a Mesh Network of AP(s), for your requirement.

    Later you can enable Fast Transition in the wireless configurations as mentioned in the previous post by Vilic.

     

     
    Why is it required to make a mesh of AP's? I use the UTM, do you mean to crete a group of AP's in the UTM first?
