- jauntywundrkind 3y ago802.11r at least doesn't work on hostapd with wpa3. Supposedly it's not compatibleb may threads on that. Although there are some counter-examples which I've just found! https://forum.openwrt.org/t/802-11r-wpa3-does-it-work/135041/4 https://forum.openwrt.org/t/802-11r-wpa3-does-it-work/135041... It seems like most clients will stay associated with an AP until times are truly truly desperate/signal is near totally hosed. As far as I know, the only open source option to bandhsteering/ap-steering clients is Dawn, which is quite new (relatively speaking). I've been running it on my nighthawk's for a while, and it's... Ok. Clients sometimes ping pong around, or get sent to a suboptimal band or AP. But it's a huge improvement over nothing! https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dawn https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dawn
