OpenWRT - Configure 802.11r Fast Transition - Fast Roaming Wifi

[@LeDanCoste]

I didn't realise it was that simple. Working for me, across three different OpenWRT routers. Thanks :)

[@VanTechCorner]

Glad that it helps. You can also configured Mesh WiFi between different routers as well. Feel free to check out this playlist and I hope it will help kzbin.info/aero/PL58__w3t_eTbcBQ9oJ8jXCxPtBiac59vC

@@VanTechCorner Can you create a openwrt mesh tutorial but meshing the AP With cable instead of Wifi

[@hiyoshi177]

thanks van tech, i do it with an old aruba ap-105 running openwrt and my main router which is a linksys EA8500, that works fine for me, thanks, very helpful, good explanation.

Hi luis, thanks for the feedback. Enjoy!

Can you please explain the meaning of the "FT protocol" setting? In other tutorial the "FT over Air" was suggested and I would like to understand the difference. Thank you...

[@silverismoney]

worked perfectly on my rt3200 thanks!

[@manc4806]

Nice video again, keep it up!

[@VanTechCorner]

Thanks for the comment!

[@megapro1725]

You only need to install wpad on the main router?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, you will need to do the same on all routers.

[@megapro1725]

@@VanTechCorner Yep, i've installed DAWN from guide and it works perfectly!

[@marianapuspita9196]

how about this 802.11r applied at about 80 km/h vehicle?

[@EderAndradeUFLA]

Thanks! One question: I'm setting up a dualband router as a repeater. For the 5GHz network, do I need to have a different/same NAS ID and/or Mobility Domain ?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, 5GHz wifi should have a different NAS & Domain. Last time I tried mixing them up and roaming didn't work. So 2 bands should have 2 different NAS ID.

[@kaiomendonca1]

​@@VanTechCorner Thank you for all your videos. Quick question, since its been 9 months since your answear, do you know if this still aplies? I'm corrently setting this up, and I'd like to have only one SSID, for simplicity with non tech savvy people in my family.

[@PhilipSHempel]

I am looking for how to do the WPA2-EAP instead of WPA2-PSK as WPA2-EAP is much more complicated than WPA2-PSK. Have you an easy way to configure this? I want to see if I understand it fully.

[@VanTechCorner]

I can see both WPA2-EAP and WPA2-PSK and other Encryption type on Wireless Security tab. We should be able to select the Encryption type that we want. Are you having a problem with it, is the option not show up?

[@sobaannaseer7155]

can you make a new vedio on it? also check sys log , they often dont use fast transition

[@cattivello]

Hi, is this tutorial still up to date on 2022? do we still need to install wpad full ?

[@cattivello]

when trying to install wpad I have errors since I already have wpad-basic-wolfssl. Is that not a good package?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hello, as I mentioned in the video, you need to remove the wpad-basic package, and install the wpad package.

[@cattivello]

@@VanTechCorner hi. I never had the wpad-basic i stalled but by default i had wpad-basic-wolfssl. I than go ahead and i stalled the full wpad-wolfssl. Is that correct? Yet non of the devices gets disconnected from any dumb AP (i have 2 dumb AP and 1 full wifi router). Tried to play around with settings but does not seem that the roaming works. Any suggestion?

[@TheZouil]

Show m us the log where FT says that it really works , technically you can set up 2 AP with the same SSID , encryption , password and any smartphone will roam with 200ms max

[@greencrunchy]

Hi, I have this setup and works like a charm. Now I'm thinking, what will be the advantage in enabling fast roaming? Is it worth it?

[@jithinsankar787]

Is it normal that we lose wifi coverage while using openwrt...i own a d link dir 2660...in stock firmware i get good coverage..but in openwrt it worst.

[@alejandromg535]

In my case is diferent I have an xiaomi mi wifi4a and gain coverange and speed in 2.4Ghz and a little bit worse in the 5Ghz in speed the coverange are the same

[@ventsi2178]

Hello, i want to make my router turn on the wifi on boot because now when i cut off the electricity and then i need to turn it on manual from the computer. Any ideas?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, the wifi should be automatically start with the router. Is it an issue with your computer?

[@briancoverstone4042]

Why on earth did you use channel 4 instead of 6?

[@firstnamelastname307]

Do different APs need same SSID to have them fast roaming?

[@VanTechCorner]

Yes, same SSID and encryption type (password).

[@abeeryt7610]

Nice video. I have a question, is it possible to connect the two router wirelessly instead of wired way which you have done? I know speed when connected to satellite router will be halved probably when using wireless backhaul, but that this is fine..

[@VanTechCorner]

Yes you can! See the Mesh WiFi tutorial on my channel. You can create a mesh wifi networking using different routers, as long as it is running OpenWRT.

Sir do you have openwrt for amlogic s905x3.? I need that firmware for my tvbox as router

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, it is not officially supported by OpenWRT.

[@tongduychuong]

Anh cho hỏi là khi chuyển vùng thì app call video như Zalo bị lỗi kết nối, có cách nào khắc phục không.

[@VanTechCorner]

Để khắc phục vấn đề này bạn cần nghiên cứu và tinh chỉnh thời gian chuyển vùng tùy theo latency của gói tin. Mỗi ứng dụng nghe gọi có mức yêu cầu riêng, rất tiếc mình không rành về mảng này.

[@minhchanhdo]

Cho mình hỏi là cài đặt Fast Roaming có yêu cầu phần cứng là chip Qualcom hay Mediatek nào không.

[@VanTechCorner]

Không có yêu cầu trên router nhưng có yêu cầu với client nhé bạn. Mình thử trên Mi 9 và iPhone 6 thì roaming chạy tốt, còn LG V20 thì không hỗ trợ. Cái này bạn phải tìm hiểu thêm rồi.

[@JR-vc4gm]

Maybe you can make another video about roaming wirelessly?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, I don't understand your point. Are you refering to Mesh, and if you have more then 2 routers that natively supports Mesh WiFi (can configure Mesh with the stock FW)

[@1002videolopdaihoc]

Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ, mình có 1 dự án 3 router chạy openwrt cho ngôi nhà 3 tầng mình cũng muốn cài đặt 802.11r. Mình có 1 câu hỏi là có thể kết nối 3 router không cần đi dây được không?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi bạn, để kết nối không dây thì bạn phải cấu hình mesh chứ không phải roaming. Mình đang thử nghiệm và dự định làm một video khi có thể. Nhà ba tầng của bạn đã hoàn thiện chưa? mình vẫn khuyến nghị đi dây thay vì wireless để mạng ổn định nhất có thể.

[@daniilsliusar1681]

hmm, there is nothing about WPA2 Enterprise - description is not correct, bro! please rewrite video description as "settings for WPA2 PSK network, not Enterprise"

[@CashPope]

Bạn ơi, nếu mình muốn roaming giữa 1 router openwrt 2.4ghz và 1 router rom oem 5ghz thì phải chỉnh thủ công phải không? nếu đúng vậy thì rất mong bạn cho mình 1 vài chỉ dẫn :)

[@VanTechCorner]

Bạn chỉ có thể cấu hình fast roaming giữa 2 router/AP cùng loại hoặc cùng hãng. OpenWRT giúp bạn thêm 1 bước nữa, chỉ cần cùng chạy OpenWRT là bạn có thể cấu hình fast roaming rồi. Tuy nhiên fast roaming giữa OpenWRT & router thường vẫn chưa được hỗ trợ.

[@UpcycleElectronics]

It doesn't matter, but just tought I would mention, most native English speakers pronounce the word roaming like "row-ming." Ramming means something different. Again, it doesn't matter how you pronounce it. I would want to know if I were doing this in another language. -Jake

Sure thing, but it will take some time until I got a router that supports 802.11k and v.

[@AbdulLatif-pe2jf]

Verry helpfull

[@VanTechCorner]

Glad it helped!

[@martinspukitis1954]

You are not using RADIUS server. You are using PSK. The description of the video is misleading.

[@VanTechCorner]

This is 802.11r Fast Roaming, it has nothing to do with PSK nor RADIUS.

[@martinspukitis1954]

@Van Tech Corner One can use fast roaming in both enterprise (eap, with radius server) and private (psk) networks. In the description you mention enterprise and radius. Google search finds your video when searching fast roaming with radius, but instead you showing how to do it with PSK.
