  • Patent number: 9479990
    Abstract: Embodiments of a wireless roaming management system are disclosed, wherein the system is configured to manage roaming of a client device across access points. The system includes processor(s) and memory for storing signal strength data for access points operating on a local area network. In one embodiment, the system is configured to transfer a client device from one access point to another. For example, in response to receiving, from a source access point, a request for a roaming calculation for a client device connected to the source access point, the system can determine a target access point to transfer the client device based on the stored signal strength data and the roaming calculation. The system can then cause the client device to be disconnected from the source access point and connected to the target access point.
