The simplest setup involves setting up multiple APs (or routers set as APs) supporting 802.11r, connecting them to the same WiFi network with the same DHCP server, same SSID, same security type (i.e. WPA2-AES, etc.), same passphrase.
  −
This type of setup allows for users to roam around the coverage area, and switch between APs without noticing interruptions in most cases.
  −
   
This article provides a basic configuration example of WiFi roaming.
