#74029 I am interested in using the ESP8266 in a device that will be mobile and roam between multiple Access Points. Is there any information on roaming with the 8266? Does it roam between APs? What triggers roaming? Is there an API that displays known APs and allows the application to control roaming?

thanks

IMHO it is up to you to program roaming yourself.
You should provide several pairs of SSID,passwords, then
check status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass)...

#74051 ESP8266WifiMulti tries to access a series of ssids/pwd, but they need to be specified beforehand.

WifiManager allows selecting a new AP point if the last one used cannot be accessed.

Arduino can scan available APs https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... FiScan.ino

I think you want some integrated combination of the two, but I am not aware of a library that does this.

It should be fairly straightforward to combine them in a sketch.
