Windows 10: Roaming aggressiveness doesn't change anything

Hello.


I'm having trouble with my wifi signal when roaming between range extenders. I have one main router and 3 range exenders; let's call them extender A, extender B, and extender C. The router feeds both extender A and B, and extender A feeds extender C.


When I startup, it seems my laptop will connect to whichever signal it finds first - not necessarily the strongest signal. When I move between them, it stubbornly refuses


I can be half way between extender A and C, picking up (for example) a 90% signal from extender A, a 90% signal from extender C, and a 5% signal from the main router, but it will not change to either A or C - it stays with the main router. This continues even as the router signal goes down to 0%; only then will it change. But if the router signal goes back up to 1%, the wifi will return to the router connection, depsite getting a 100% signal from extender C. It will then switch back and forth as the router signal fades in and out. It's the same problem between all the different extenders. It is always trying to reconnect to the original signal, even if there are 2 or 3 other stronger signals on the same network.


My understanding is that this is what the roaming aggressiveness setting is supposed to solve. It does not. I already have my roaming aggressiveness set to 5 (highest).


And to answer what will probably be the first question - I am sure that extender A is always getting a strong enough signal from the main router, and that extender C is getting a strong enough signal from extender A. Extender B might sometimes get a signal weaker than 30% from the main router, but it is always getting something, and anyway when it is receiving a strong signal I still get the problem described above.


I'm using Windows 10, version 1803, OS build 17134.556.


Any ideas?

Change Roaming Aggressiveness on Windows 8 Phone

Hi,

My friend has a Windows 8 Nokia phone (Nokia 532 I think) in Student Accommodation that is between two Access Points.

The device is roaming between the two access points that are broadcasting the same SSID.

This causes an intermittent connection, sometimes causing a self assigned IPv4 Address.

I was wondering if there was any way to lower the roaming aggressiveness on this device, and if so, how to do it.

Thanks for any help.
