Limit Wi-Fi Roaming
Use this optional feature to limit Wi-Fi roaming for discovered networks.
Enterprise wireless networks can be configured with multiple Base Station IDs, known as BSSIDs, that can advertise a single network name or SSID. When a device connects to the SSID, the device can connect to an access point (BSSID) that can have a weaker signal or be on a different subnet.
To curtail unexpected roaming, you can define a roaming boundary within the SSID that is determined by a set of specific BSSIDs. To define the boundary, you can specify up to three BSSIDs.
Note:
• During normal operation, the device connects to any available BSSID within the selected SSID.
• To restrict Wi-Fi roaming, you can select up to three preferred BSSIDs within the selected SSID network.
CAUTION: BSSIDs are location-specific. If you reconfigure the network or move the device, review the settings, then change the settings as needed.To select preferred BSSIDs:
1. Click Show Settings.
2. From the list, select up to three BSSIDs. To refresh the list, click Refresh List.
3. Click Save.
