In the context of wireless networking (specifically Wi-Fi), is a setting on a client device (like a laptop, smartphone, or tablet) that determines how easily and quickly it will disconnect from its current wireless access point (AP) and seek a stronger one.

Network administrators often fine-tune these settings to ensure that laptops and handheld scanners transition smoothly as users walk through the building. For an average user, a "Medium" or "Default" setting usually provides the best balance, but knowing how to tweak this "aggression" can be the key to solving persistent dead zones or dropped connections.
