What is the easiest way to measure AP to AP roam time?

I've just stood up a WLAN switch, and am verifying with the customer that client roaming works.

I have Airopeek SE, so I guess I could look for reassociate packets to the roam to AP, then....?

The problem I'm seeing is some ping -t timeouts from my laptop as I roam. I just don't think I should be seeing any timeouts for ping since the vendor advertizes the best in the industry.

Are you aware of an easy way to setup Airopeek for such a measurement?

My hunch is the roam time is greatly effected by client settings, stickiness and such, I just want to quantify it.

Thanks.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
