Roaming Sensitivity File

Most network drivers allow you to set this sensitivity on a scale (usually Low, Medium, High, or a numerical value like 1 to 3). Finding the right setting is a balancing act.

Most network adapters, particularly those using Intel or Realtek drivers, offer several levels of sensitivity: roaming sensitivity

| Type | Behavioral Symptom | Root Cause | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Device roams too early or too often. Constant disconnects while moving slowly. "Ping-pong" between two APs. | Hysteresis set too low (e.g., <3 dB); Very short scan intervals. | | Under-Sensitive (Sticky) | Device holds onto a distant AP (-85 dBm) while standing next to a stronger AP (-45 dBm). High latency, packet loss. | Hysteresis too high; Client driver prioritizes BSSID over signal strength. | Most network drivers allow you to set this
