Depends what you mean and what you want to do.

I have this.

As John says, the client seems to matter when it comes to the "hand
off".  If I move from zone to zone my devices will eventually switch
to the better AP.  Takes a couple of minutes, I think.  Or I can force
them by turning client wifi off, then on again.
