The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each AP
to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.

Description
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, Vigor router
will automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that
wireless station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to
get better signal.
This option is to disable the roaming mechanism.
Vigor router uses RSSI (received signal strength indicator) to
decide to terminate the network connection of wireless
station. When the signal strength is below the value (dBm)
set here, Vigor router will terminate the network connection
for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP
(must be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with
higher signal strength value (defined in the field of With
Adjacent AP RSSI over) is detected by Vigor router, Vigor
router will terminate the network connection for that
wireless station. Later, the wireless station can connect to
the adjacent AP (with better RSSI).
 With Adjacent AP RSSI over – Specify a value as a
threshold.
