If you open up a laptop and connect to the strongest access point
signal, then its fine. What it does not do is actually allow roaming.
i.e. move that same machine from close to one access point to the
other, and it will still try to talk to the original connection point
even when there is another that offers a much better signal strength.
Only when you explicitly break the connection (or it goes out of range)
will windows look for an alternative.

My iPAQ (Windows Mobile 5) has a WiFi roaming setting of "Poor Signal" or
"No Signal" it does not say what constitues a "Poor Signal". This is not
a setting I have seen in more recent devices.

You then have a secondary problem that the router injecting internet
connectivity into the APs won't have any way of being told that the
connection point has changed - hence it will still be using the MAC
address of the previous point.

Hum, my routers ARP table shows the MAC address of the end point not the
MAC address of the intermediate wireless AP (in bridge mode). How long
the unmanaged switch between the router and AP takes to notice the move
is another matter but I've never experienced any noticable delay when
physically moving things on switch ports.

If I had another AP I'd play...
