WiFi Roaming (Fast Roaming) is discussed here: viewtopic.php?p=55944#p55944

- Set WiFi in the same way as @ispyisail (Same SSID, same password, channel also the same - just in case)

- what I understood from the topic, the client must also support "Fast Roaming", otherwise the connection will take longer.
Turris Omnia with OpenWrt 21.02 - Tested
Linksys WRT3200ACM with Gargoyle 1.13.x
TL-WR1043ND v2 with Gargoyle 1.10.0

my router are wr-841n with gargoyle,
4 meg router, unlikely to work
- Set WiFi in the same way as @ispyisail (Same SSID, same password, channel also the same - just in case)
'Use a different channel if possible
otherwise the connection will take longer.
The client will not connect if it does not support "Fast roaming"


TIP:
New top end equipment is more likely to work. iphones are reported to work well.

Old cheap Android phones have about zero chance of working.

You can no longer use any new Gargoyle firmware

If you can, it will be unstable

You could try the TP-Link C7 but not for fast internet connections
