I use fast transition and roaming on my OpenWRT devices, to allow clients to seamlessly roam across multiple APs spread over 6000sqft, on Archer C7s and A7s running OpenWRT.

Recently I obtained five R7000P at a business closeout sale - doesn't support OpenWRT, so I was wondering if:

1. The R7000P itself supports Fast transition and roaming - what's the command to use to verify this?
2. its DD-WRT builds support Fast transition and roaming so I can have multiple R7000P as APs (using ethernet cable as backhaul) seamlessly broadcasting the same SSID?

Unless something has changed very recently, 802.11r isn't supported on Broadcom--but unless you are using DFS channels, the transition should take place in well under 1 second without any such helpers, which is fast enough for most purposes.

If it was supported it would be in the Wireless Security tab like here in Atheros
