workand traditional classroom instruction. With the success of the modules documented by Malik etal24, a new module was created as an extension of the previous work.In order to develop effective instructional modules focused on 802.11 client roaming, threedifferent experiments were performed. The intention for this research was to design experimentsto be replicated by undergraduate students in an isolated laboratory. For each of the threeseparate experiments, three different distribution systems were utilized: a wired infrastructure, awireless distribution system (WDS), and a wireless mesh distribution system. The mosttraditional distribution system, a wired infrastructure is also the most popular implementationwith 802.11 WLANs. The WDS
