Some city scanners misbehave with FT enabled, so ops plans to disable it on that SSID. What operational tradeoff should they expect?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Turning FT off is yanking the express lane—security can stay, but every roam may wait in the full-auth line again. Expect slower handoffs, not magical WEP or open access. Voice may feel it first.
Full Explanation
Disabling 802.11r FT removes the fast BSS transition optimization, so clients typically fall back to longer authentication or key establishment on roam. That can increase roam latency for sticky voice or scanner workflows even if base SSID security remains. It does not convert the network to WEP or eliminate authentication.
