What is the 802.11r option for?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I recently noticed under wifi settings, when creating an ssid it now has an 802.11r option and its unchecked by default.
I already have fast romaing enabled in the site settings so why was this added to the wifi settings?

I don't believe 802.11r works with WPA3 so it wouldn't make sense to make it a global setting.

@johnsnow88 The practical answer to your question is: wpa3-psk clients out in the wild do not support or have buggy 802.11r (FT-SAE) so do not enable.
It is buggy in IOS, various android vendors, windows 11 does not support it.. and the list goes on.

@crrodriguez I'm still using EAP245/225 so o not have wpa3, most of my phones and streaming devices are roaming properly but what i'm seeing is that my IoT devices that are fixed tend to bounce around between 2 EAPs constantly failing and reconnecting. I think this is mainly do to the IoT devices trying to connect to the internet and failing since I have it blocked.
I hoping to force them to only connect to the closet EAP and was hoping 802.11r would help with that, I've tried setting EAP specific SSIDs but doesn't really help much.
