Abstract

Wireless roaming is one way to improve the reliability of a network of hotspots that are still using the topology Basic Service Set (BSS). When the user walks away from one access point (AP) or one AP die then begins to lose the signal, the mobile station (MS) is automatically connected with the AP to another without reconfiguring. Devices that support wireless roaming is the AP TP-Link TL-WR740N using DD-WRT firmware that supports DHCP forwarder. Wireless roaming makes it easy for the user if there is more than one AP in an area.
