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.

PMK Cache manages the list from the BSSIDs in the associated
SSID with which it has pre-authenticated. Such feature is
available for WPA2/802.1 mode.
Enables a station to authenticate to multiple APs for roaming
securer and faster. With the pre-authentication procedure defined
in IEEE 802.11i specification, the pre-four-way-handshake can
reduce handoff delay perceivable by a mobile node. It makes
roaming faster and more secure. (Only valid in WPA2)
