A device with is "loyal" to its current Access Point (AP). It will hold onto a weak, stuttering signal until it is almost entirely gone before looking for a new one. Conversely, a device with high roaming aggressiveness is "impatient." As soon as the current signal dips even slightly below a high-quality threshold, the device scans for a stronger alternative and forces a handoff. The Balancing Act
| Setting | Description | Use Case | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The device maintains its current connection as long as possible, only roaming when the signal is critically low or lost completely. | Stable Environments: Best for users staying in one spot who prioritize avoiding brief disconnects over having maximum signal strength. | | Medium | (Default) Balances stability and performance. The device will roam when the signal drops to a moderate level and a significantly better AP is detected. | General Use: Ideal for mixed environments where the user moves occasionally but does not want the device "flapping" between APs too frequently. | | High | The device aggressively scans for and switches to the strongest available AP, even if the current connection is adequate. | High Mobility: Best for voice/video calls while walking (VoWiFi) or moving between rooms, ensuring the strongest signal is always used, accepting potential brief interruptions during the switch. | A device with is "loyal" to its current Access Point (AP)
In areas with multiple overlapping Wi-Fi networks (such as office buildings or dense urban environments), devices often cling to a weak known signal rather than switching to a stronger, closer access point. This feature allows the user to set a "Roaming Aggressiveness" level (Low, Medium, High) to dictate how proactively the device switches to a better network.
