Meraki access point change time

[新米エンジニアtkh]

I am using 4 Meraki APs in a room.

MR56: 2, MR36: 2

All of them use same SSID and clients can roam any AP.

I saw timeline of a client on meraki dashboard. Following log was displayed.

"Jan7 09:42:57  Roamed from access point xxxxAP1 then had a successful connection to SSID xxxxxxxx for 4 hours on access point xxxxAP4, and then client roamed."

"Jan7 09:16:38  Roamed from access point xxxxAP3 then had a successful connection to SSID xxxxxxxx for 26 minutes on access point xxxxAP1, and then client roamed."

"Jan7 09:16:38  Successful disassociation to SSID xxxxxxxx on access point xxxxAP03, and then the client roamed to access point xxxxAP01"

"Jan7 09:13:37  Roamed from access point xxxxAP1 then had a successful connection to SSID xxxxxxxx for 3 minutes on access point xxxxAP3, and then client roamed."

"Jan7 08:58:27  Successful connection to SSID xxxxxxxx for 15 minutes on access point xxxxAP1, and then the client roamed."

I'd like to know how to be decided the time, for example "SSID xxxxxxxx for 15 minutes".

And also I'd like to know can I configure this length of time.

Client roaming is decided by the client not by the AP. And the roaming behavior is dictated by how the vendor of the client has programmed it. It's not driven by time (on the client nor the infrastructure).

Thank you for reply.

According to my log, it looks like that ap knows interval till next roaming.

If roaming is decided only by client, why can ap log roaming interval?

Because its one network and the dashboard collects all logging from the AP's. The dashboard knows what happenend and presents that in a smart way/view to us.
