Dave's Garage using Unifi components. I think he explains it all rather well.
[TIP] Good video on wi-fi system in a larger home.

Not bad for a 10,000 foot quick overview.
The "enable fast roaming" will be better once more devices support it. It's been there for a while but as of yet, I see more devices get a negative impact from it, versus devices that benefit from it, so it'll probably be at least another year or two before it gets enabled by default on my setups. The description he gives when talking about fast roaming, "how you can walk far away from a prior AP with a weak signal, yet be standing under another AP with a strong signal and you won't connect to it"...that's just poor config of the APs...need to learn about RSSI and TX power adjustment. But for those people who just want to throw a bunch of APs into a building without planning, channel spacing, and cell tuning...yeah the fast roaming will be a good thing for them.
