Methods and systems are provided for secure switching of a roaming wireless terminal. The system includes a network having a plurality of access points for communicating with a wireless terminal. The network includes a first access point configured to couple with the wireless terminal, and a second access point configured to couple with the wireless terminal. The first access point is further configured to generate a first authentication information with the wireless terminal, and connect the wireless terminal with the network upon an authentication of the wireless terminal based on the first authentication information. The first access point is further configured to transmit the first authentication information to the second access point via the network upon the authentication of the wireless terminal. The second access point is further configured to connect the wireless terminal with the network using the first authentication information. The method includes the steps of generating a first authentication information during authentication of the wireless client with a first access point, broadcasting the first authentication information from the first access point to other access points of the network via the network, and connecting the wireless client with the network at a second access point using the first authentication information.
