Edimax Pro AP 1 Setup guide

How to setup a roaming wireless network between Edimax Pro APs?
Topology
Before roaming, Please make sure that must be a overlap region between Edimax Pro 1 and
Edimax Pro AP 2.
As you can see as below, the smart phone is not able to roam from Edimax Pro AP 1 to
Edimax Pro AP 2. Because “Roaming”means the client detects multiple SSID at the same
time, and choose better wireless signal to connect with.
As above, there is no overlap region between Edimax Pro 1 and Edimax Pro 2. While client
walks to region A, it detects no signal, and it will just disconnection from the wireless
network. There would be no wireless roaming.
So if you would like to have good roaming experience, you need to make sure there is
overlap region between Edimax Pro AP 1 and Edimax Pro AP 2 as below.

Configuration Steps
1. Please connect laptop to the same network as Edimax Pro AP 1.
2. Please open web browser, type IP address of Edimax Pro AP 1 and press Enter.
3. The default username / password is admin / 1234
4. Click Wireless Settings >> 2.4GHZ >> Basic , configure as below, and click Apply.
a. Please enter SSID.
b. Please change Auto Channel to Disable.
c. Please select channel which is less used in the environment.
d. Please select a channel width. If there the interference is too much, then we prefer to select 20
MHz.
5. Click Security, configure as below, and click Apply.
a. For example, configured Authentication Method as WAP-PSK, and Pre-Shared Key as 1234567890.
b. Please “Enable” smart handover.
c. Please configure RSSI Threshold depending on your demand. If the smart phone signal is reduced to
-80 dBm, Edimax Pro AP will disassociate it from smart phone. In this period of time, the smart phone
will detect and re-connect to the SSID which has the stronger signal. Please note, it might be short time
that smart phone will lose the wireless connection due to how fast smart phone detects and connects
to new SSID.

6. Please connect laptop to the same network as Edimax Pro AP 2.
7. Under Edimax pro AP2, please follow the same configurations of Edimax Pro AP1 settings (step1 - 5)
that we mentioned above.
8. Once the configuration is completed. Then while user walks from Edimax Pro 1 to Edimax Pro 2, the
smart phone should auto roam from Edimax AP 1 to Edimax Pro AP 2 successfully.
