Abstract:
An example of controlling a network of wireless access points (APs) to detect that a client device associated with the network is stationary in an AP-overlap area, and in response to the detection that the client device is stationary in the AP-overlap area, assigning one of the APs to be a preferred AP for the client device. The APs are to avoid connecting with any client devices that have been assigned another AP as a preferred AP. Thus, the stationary client device in the overlap area may be prevented from undesired roaming.
