I downgraded to WEP-128 (I know it's weak) and, despite the
recommendations from any good wifi networking guide,
I SET ALL APs ON THE SAME CHANNEL.
Don't ask me why, but now roaming is PERFECT, never had a call
dropped or even a hiss or crackling noise during conversation.
I, too, have heard about that best practice of using different
channels for different AP's on the same SSID. As far as I can tell,
it's BS. I don't know who started it, but it has never worked in any
of the situations I've encountered. In fact, I know of at least one
AP manufacturer (Apple) that has a utility to auto-configure WDS
networks, and it auto-configures to use the same channel. That's
enough encouragement for me to always use the same channel. When I
do, everything is hunky-dory.
