RUTX10 Relayd On 2 wifi

Hi
My application includes a RUTX10 in client mode that is moving between several APs.
I have configured 2.4GHz wifi with relayd and fast roaming. it is working ok, but when moving between APs, there’s a ~3s disconnection. I need the roaming to be faster.

I thought of using the 5GHz in failover mode and different signal threshold, so there is always 1 wifi network connected. and when the fast roaming will switch AP, the 5GHz will already be connected.
problem is that relayd allows me to bridge only 1 wifi network,

is there a way to overcome this?

thanks

Hello,

Improving your Wi-Fi connection might be challenging due to various factors like device compatibility, signal strength, network load, and QoS.

However, some settings could help. Firstly, try enabling the 802.11k and 802.11v options in your Wi-Fi settings. These settings may significantly improve reconnection times.

Secondly, you can implement QoS in your APs to prioritize your required traffic.

Thanks for the ultra fast reply, Marijus.

My APs are Ubiquiti and not Teltonika. the RUTX10 is only the client in this network.
I have checked and k/v/r are enabled on the network.

my question is more related to the relayd. is it possible to have 2 networks relayed? can I run 2 relayd deamons simultaneously? I think it will help a lot

Hi,

Relayd service is configured so that only one daemon should be running at any given time to avoid conflicts and unexpected behavior. In general, it’s not typical nor advisable to have multiple instances of the same service running simultaneously.

OK. Good To know.
is there any other way I can implement failover between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? maybe using routing?

Hello,

Yes, setting up failover between 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks can be done quite easily, without requiring any routing. Simply connect to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks, then navigate to Network → Failover → Multiwan. Turn on failover for the chosen interfaces and arrange them in your preferred failover sequence.

Understood. But the problem is that relayd will only work with one wifi interface. So in case of failure on that interface it will not work with the backup interface.
I’m looking for a way to overcome this. I thought about static routing

Hello,

It might work, but setting it up could be tedious. Since I haven’t encountered this setup personally, I can’t offer detailed advice.

Best regards,
