My Thought at this point is to change the RF profile for the outdoor access points where there will be less devices connected to exclude 5 Ghz. leaving the indoor units with both 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz where there will be larger number of devices connected.this will hopefully give me the best of both worlds.

This is what I suspected that roaming withing the same band is seamless and switching radios will cause packets to drop. May go the route of disabling 5 Ghz on radios where devices will be roaming.

I am in the process of setting up a new site. I have a number of MR52's covering the indoors and have MR74 covering an outdoor area. I get good signal in 2.4 Ghz around the whole area. As I am moving around testing on the MR74 when my device switches to 5 Ghz I drop packets and vice versus. I managed to replicate this on an MR52. This happens on both android and apple devices. The way I see it there are a number of options I can try. I could increase the minimum bitrate on the 5 Ghz Channel so it only switches when the signal reaches above a certain level. I could disable 5Ghz on the outdoor radios to alleviate this issue but would like to get suggestions before I do something so drastic.
