We've discussed this a while ago, but I thought I'd bring it back up again. Here's a recent thread on Small Net Builder http://www.snbforums.com/threads/seamless-roaming-zero-handoff.24525/

Their consensus seems to be that Cisco gets it right, but not so much for consumer grade gear, except maybe new stuff around the corner.

Anyone here agree / disagree?

I ask mainly because I'm pondering a serious home theater upgrade (4K,etc) and one of the curious features of the high end Sony ES receiver, one of the very few receivers that properly deals with the copy protection nonsense of HDMI2/HDCP2.2, also happens to include an eight port gigE switch with PoE, which is remarkably useful to ponder in my space-constrained equipment rack.

Meanwhile, I'll express modest sadness that the new Google OnHub router could /should totally deal with automatic roaming / handoff but doesn't. They've got the bespoke platform. They've got the engineering talent. They just aren't targeting the feature.
