When the AP's don't support roaming, the client needs to dissociate from the 
original AP, give up its IP address and request again from DHCP.  The fact that 
DHCP assigns the same IP again is largely irrelevant - the fact that the client 
needed to give up the IP in the first place means it dumped its TCP stack.  
Your UDP connections should remain connected just fine, but TCP gets dumped.
