Hi DeWayne, 1) No. It's the nature of the medium. 2) It sounds like roaming is not properly designed or set up. To roam properly, you must put the APs on the same subnet, and you should have about a 30% overlap of the RF fields. If the APs are on the same subnet then it won't matter what AP the user has connected to, and there will not be any issue with lost connections.

Has anyone seen any info on how to "disguise" the wireless clients from each other? I want everyone to be able to bond to my APs, but I don't want them to be able to "see" each other - I just want them to be able to go to the internet. This is probably just a wild dream, but I figured I'd ask. 2.) Has anyone had any problems with dropping sessions when you move from one AP to another? I run a wireless network on a college campus, so naturally we have dozens of APs. The problem is that some classrooms are right on the "dividing line" between APs, and the clients tend to keep hopping back and forth between APs. When they do this, it basically messes up all of their network connections and they have to start them over. Does anyone know an effective solution to stop this? Thanks!
