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. How Aggressive Roaming Works

| Behavior | Aggressive Roaming | Passive / Normal Roaming | Sticky Roaming | |----------|-------------------|--------------------------|----------------| | | -55 to -65 dBm | -70 to -75 dBm | -80 to -85 dBm | | Roam frequency | Very high | Moderate | Very low | | User impact | Flapping, brief drops | Seamless (under 100ms) | Prolonged low speeds | | Best for | High mobility (warehouse robots) | General office / home | Fixed position / legacy devices |
