Probe Suppression/Force Disassociation

I've been playing with Probe Suppression/Force Disassociation to see if it could help in certain area's with clients that do not roam aggressively, however it does not seem to be working. e.g. I have an ap with 16 clients on it, 4 of which have -80 RSSI. When i enable probe suppression, force disassociation with a threshold of -65, none of the 4 clients get disassociated. Any advice? Thanks much.

To improve roaming you must enable 8011.r (Fast Transition) at Wlan Service in Privacy tab. I have tested this option and the improve of roaming is significant. Also I have read that you have to enable multicast on ap's vlan to improve the roaming.
On the other hand, I just have read the recommended configuration in K12 enviroment and the min rate recommended is 24Mbps.
I think that you must configure specific values for each building or floor depending of the number of access points or users connected.
let me know your improvements.

Thanks. We are already running 10.01.03.0007 on our controllers. We use a min rate of 12 on radio1 and 6 on radio2. I will look into increasing the min rate on radio2 in order to decrease the cell size. Is that considered a more reliable way to "force" roaming than probe suppression?
