Any way to adjust MESH roaming time?

[Andrew_Webster]

Hi,
Setup is RFS4000 + 4x AP6522 + 2x AP6522 setup as client bridges on vehicles.
I am noticing that roaming is taking about 4 seconds to complete when the vehicles move from one AP to the next (speed is slow, approx. 5 Km/h). The roaming duration is causing the client application to fail because the data stream is cut-off for 4 seconds while the roam is taking place. The applications is PLC traffic.
The wireless radios are using 5GHz non-DFS channels.
Signal levels are good, typically around -62 to -57dBm at the vehicle.

Is there any way to make the roaming process go quicker ?

I'm seeing this in the logs during roaming, it seems process is taking 3 seconds from start to finish according to the logs, but I'm seeing about 4 seconds of data loss in total.

Is the radio actually turning off and back on again during the roam?

Again - what you have configured - is not supported. You need to use a different features.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
rf-domain does have "channel-list 5GHz 36,40,44,48,149,153,157,161"

The system has been operating since early 2014, so the 6522 was the best fit at that time, and the roaming issue may or may not have been present since the beginning, but only now the application is affected.

AP7532 - work well as a bridge

Maybe you should exchange the APs again a client bridge. We always use client bridges instead of APs as client bridge. Works perfect.
