Your devices then will just use which ever is nearest

For example I have 7 ap900's and 1 2860 all with same ssid and works fine



Alright, cheers for the help.. will be setting up soon

In addition to same SSID and password don't forget to set same security protocol on all devices as well (e.g WPA2)

Does the fast roaming (PMK caching/pre-auth) also work with the WiFi built into the 2860ac; or does it only apply to APs? Currently have two AP-902 with fast roaming enabled plus the 2860ac providing WiFi coverage for large area of the property. ie, do I need to disable the WiFi in the 2860ac and install an additional 902/910C in order to ensure fast roaming throughout network?

The AP management is for standalone APs only (AP902,810,910c etc)
