In my house there are three floors and I have a wireless router to cover each floor. The basement and top floor are set as 'wireless repeaters' for the main floor.
The problem is, there is an unfortunate (but somewhat unavoidable) amount of coverage overlap with this setup. If I am in the center of the house the signal strength of each access point is pretty much equal. Each have the same SSID, channel, and encryption (they have to be the same channel for dd-wrt to act as a repeater). If I am standing still this poses no problem, but when I am moving at all holding my phone, the phone (rooted nexus 5 with stock ROM) will be constantly switching between routers, each time with a 20 second delay or so.
Is there either: any way to make it switch faster? OR perhaps make it less aggressive in searching out the stronger signal?
