802.11 r/k/v on STA mode

[danirpgS]

Hi,

The DAP140 or RUTM10 for example, i know k/v can be enabled on AP mode but my question is if on STATION mode k/v frames are actually used.

Teltonika routers in wifi STATION mode uses the info provided by 802.11k and v for enhance roaming process?

I understand in AP mode you can select whether to enable these protocols but in STATION mode these options disappear from the roaming tab on the web ui, so i assume k/v are always taken in account on STATION mode.

This question comes because other brands like Mikrotik or others on STATION mode indeed receive the frames related to 802.11k/v but doesnt do anything with them.

On the AGV/AMR field taking in account k/v info improves greatly the roaming feature which is critical in these enviroments to maintain a good quality wifi connection.

Hello,

If the AP has 802.11k/v enabled, then a Teltonika router in station mode will indeed parse and take into account the information elements provided by access points that support these protocols.

To confirm 802.11k support on your device, you can run the iw list command and check for the following under both phy0 and phy1 devices:

Supported extended features: 
    * [ RRM ]: RRM

That’s the flag that confirms 802.11k support (RRM = Radio Resource Measurement framework).

Best regards,
