Hi,

 

I have 2x CPE220 facing opposite direction.

Now with different SSID name

I want my user connect to the same SSID name with seamless roaming

 

QUESTIONS:

1. Do I need a Pharos controller to do that

2. Any drawback if without controller but with the same SSID name

3. What number should set in Management/RSSI Threshold, so that user kicked from weak ap?

 

tq

1. No, you can set same SSID in Pharos web UI, too.

 

2. None.

 

3. Where do you see RSSI threshold for clients? I have CPE210 (CPE220 not available in my country) and there is only a RSSI threshold setting for the AP's LEDs in the Management menu. Did you mean this setting?

Yes, I can't find RSSI Threshold in CPE220 GUI

I thought with Pharos Controller it has something like this

I see. No, Pharos devices have no RSSI threshold value for clients. They are designed and most often used for long-range directional links in WISP scenarios, but not so often in short-range supply for »normal« clients such as SmartPhones or laptops. For long-range links it would be counter-productive to refuse connections from remote clients even if the RSSI is weak.
