•Name Enter or edit a descriptive name for the WLAN group.

•Mobility To enable seamless roaming (Zero Handoff), select the checkbox.

Note: The UAP-AC, UAP-AC-Outdoor, UAP-AC-LITE, UAP-AC-LR, UAP-AC-PRO, and UAP-AC-EDU do not support Zero Handoff Roaming.

When you enable this option, multiple Access Points (APs) act as an AP cluster, appearing as a single AP. The wireless client detects only one AP, so it seamlessly roams from AP to AP – there is no need to re-negotiate. The APs determine which AP has the best connection and should serve the client. They use multicasting to communicate so they must be wired in the same Layer 2 domain.

Zero Handoff Roaming does not support wireless uplinks and can only be used on a secured network. It is also not meant for all scenarios. For example, if there is too much load or interference, then Zero Handoff Roaming may not be appropriate for your scenario.
