    Are there some openwrt based access points with proper client roaming? I use some random off the shelf tplinks as APs, and the connection always drops for a few seconds as I walk through the house. Turns out, I walk around a lot while talking on the phone.

    I’ve been playing with the idea of buying ubiquiti, but that’s quite overpriced, especially considering that the budget option goes 90% of the way for at least 1/10 of the price.

      You can set up fast roaming (802.11r) which is supported by most mobile clients and gives a much more organised handover between APs. Bit of config tangle but apparently works ok once you get it going.
