Wireless network @ work problem

Hello all, I have come across an annoying problem with our wireless network at work and hoping someone here may be kind enough to enlighten me. Right here goes...

Down stairs there are 3 access points (D-link Wirless G hubs) and are connected to the network. They are all called the same thing in the SID and the security is WEP128. But heres the problem.

The building is 6 rooms long and there is a wireless hub in every second room. The idea is when you walk though the rooms with a laptop it connect the the wireless hub with the strongest signal. But it only works sometimes...

This is causing a bit of a headache for my colleagues. Sometimes it works well, but not all the time. For example it will connect to a wireless hub and will not move on to the next one even if it loses signal strength.

Is there some sort of wireless roaming 3rd party software I can use, or maybe the hubs or laptops aren't configured properly?

Ideas and suggestions will be fantastic

Thanks for your help and time in advance.

Well, I can't tell you how to fix it because I've never tried that. That feature that your talking about is what draft r (802.11r) is suppose to include so I would say that it might not be possible.

What you can get is signal extenders.
 
I have 2 AP's, both with the same SSID, on different channels. When I move far enough away from one AP, it switches to the next one. Not sure if this is unique to my router firmware (DD-WRT).

I would also consider upping your wireless security. WEP can be cracked by anyone that really wants to.
 
One thing you could try, is using each of the hubs to extend one of the hubs signals.
