Seamless Roaming | SMC Networks SMC2555W-AG specification

Network Topologies

A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile workers. More than one access point can be configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely. All SMC wireless network card adapters and SMC2555W-AG wireless access points within a specific ESS must be configured with the same SSID.
