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

Hello,
Any status updates on this issue?
I am also experiencing this problem with EAP615-Wall V1 on latest firmware (1.5.0 Build 20240830).
Am worried this could be a hardware issue and no workaround/solution using software/firmware, as latest EAP615-Wall hardware is currently on V1.80
Checking some old discussions here and on reddit, it seems that this problem was never resolved two years ago, and TP-Link advised to just disable fast roaming or use WPA2.

@mintFlavorWifi Hello does your WPA3 + 802.11r work when Fast Roaming is disabled?
The following is the list of products that support WPA3 + 802.11r, but I know you are asking about Fast Roaming..
https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/4118/
Also, for those still on iOS 17, better upgrade to iOS 18 (fix relatively recent in October 2024)

As for Mikrotik space, they also fixed something related to WPA3 + 802.11r very recently (January 16, 2025), see routerOS 7.17 changelogs
