Thanks. I had many issue with device not being able to roam properly, so I guess having a managed setup would help, as it would allow me to not have to turn off/on wifi on my devices when moving around the house. I should have a Raspberry pi to spare, I can put the controller on it and jail that. Thanks for all your feedback. Regards -- Nicolas Goy https://www.kuon.ch https://www.goyman.com
