I had it working at Uni last year. We had the router at one end of the house and an AP at the other end (as the signal didn't reach that far). They both had the same SSID and WPA key but were on different channels and it worked more or less seamlessly. | |

forgot to mention all acess points would have to have a differnet ssid! like you said the name of each building etc something along them lines so the user knows what they are connected to! | |

with the system u already have in place you would have to connect each laptop to each acesspoint and tell them to disconnect their laptop when moving about! | |

I've been told that it’s possible to set up roaming if you have certain nic's and access points. I'm pretty sure we won’t have the nics but the access points we have a fairly advanced. | |

surely should be some setting that makes it connect to the stongest signal? Or be some programme out there that can do this? | |

will it automatically connect to the stongest signal though? As it may still pickup the one it had previously connected to but with a weak signal. | |

So what you're saying is i'd be able to name each access point with a unique SSID (i.e the building name they're in) | |
Demo |

im pretty sure you can only set 1 access point as the default access point which it sounds like is happening | |
