Aggressive Roaming

Adjusting these settings can solve specific connectivity frustrations, particularly the "sticky client" problem where a device stays locked to a weak, distant router.

Aggressive roaming is a configuration setting in wireless network adapters that determines how quickly a device—such as a laptop or mobile phone—seeks out and switches to a different wireless access point (AP) with a stronger signal. While standard roaming allows a device to transition between APs as it moves, "aggressive" settings lower the signal strength threshold that triggers a scan, making the device more prone to jumping between connections even when the current signal is still usable.

The setting alters the sensitivity to nearby APs. A higher aggressiveness value causes the Wi-Fi adapter to monitor signal quality continuously. A higher aggressiveness value causes the Wi-Fi adapter

When signal degradation is detected, the adapter scans for better alternatives every second until a stronger RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is found.
