WPA3 + Fast Roaming + 802.11r = No Roaming ?
Hello,
I try to setup my new Omada Network (1 eap650 on one building and 2 eap610 on another building), and i noticed with https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/ i don't have fast roaming with WPA3 Personal. Buildings are separated in two sites in omada system
SSID with good fast roaming:
And the SSID with roaming problem:
PS : 802.11r unchecked here for testing, cuz I have the issue described here with this checkbox checked
On the WPA3 ssid, when i am connected to 2.4 Ghz and i come into 5Ghz -70 dBm or higher range, nothing happen. The otherway is the same, go out of 5ghz range just disconnect the phone
On the WPA2 SSID, when i am connected to 5 Ghz and i come to -70 dBm or lower signal strenght, my phone switch to 2.4 Ghz, and when i come back, my phone switch back around 15/20sec later.
I have issue on multi ap building too, the roaming happen when the iphone lost signal from its current AP for the problematic SSID, and for the other SSID in WPA2, all is fine.
PS1 : Advanced site settings
Same for 5Ghz
Thanks for your help

hi all,
This issue was fixed by the firmware released on September 2024.
For those still having this issue, please update the firmware version of the EAP units to the latest first.

Hello
Despite the update, the issue stays here, i have two SSID, one with 802.11r and one without, and I have 2.4 Ghz stuck on the first same as before or network hanging, and same as other reports too
EAP650v1 : 1.1.0 Build 20240830 Rel. 50826
EAP610v1 : 1.3.0 Build 20240828 Rel. 82154
We really want to migrate our biggest site to have unified Omada gear, and not one site with Omada and the second with OpenWRT but we need same experience as before :)

Hi TP link staff @Vincent-TP
I have found why it is broken by analyzing the /tmp/ath1.ap_bss and /tmp/ath11.ap_bss + frames in WPA2 without PMF
r0kh and r1kh tables are wrong, they contain only the iface mac. Example : 00:2B:4C:E1:DF:F1 iface contain r0kh 00:2B:4C:E1:DF:F1 and r1kh 00:2B:4C:E1:DF:F1, it is wrong.
According to hostapd source repository, the r1kh from source ap will be rejected cuz not in table, it is the same for r0kh.
r0kh/r1kh is the relationship declaration between AP. The more simple way is to do as Unifi, put wildcard r0kh and r1kh.

Hi @mixman68
What do you mean by "i have a 2.4Ghz"?
Do you mean a 2.4G client, or all clients connecting to the 2.4G SSID failed to roam?
If this is only happening on one certian 2.4G client, please let us know what it is.
Also, what's the version of the controller you are using?

Hi @mixman68
Did you update the firmware for your EAP?
Do you mean the issue still persists on your site?

hi there are my versions and issue persists
there are the latest
EAP650v1 : 1.1.0 Build 20240830 Rel. 50826
EAP610v1 : 1.3.0 Build 20240828 Rel. 82154
controller : 5.15.8.2
for the other message, I retest and the client stuck on connected AP in 2.4ghz, I tested with a Linux client which supports 802.11r and I noticed failures in rxkh exchange so I go to the ap to find tables and I saw what i reported. If I connect to 5ghz first, it is the same, client stuck in 5ghz and fails to roam
