Every so often I have to physically drag my laptop to the superior AP and restart wifi to get my laptop to stop connecting to the bad AP.
- zlynx 8y agoI believe Ubiquity has an option to force clients off of individual APs when their signal falls too low. Bad for WiFi at distance but good for roaming within an office.
- basch 8y agoThe setting is a mbps setting. If the negotiated rate falls below X, disconnect.
- rconti 8y agoNah it's RSSI-based.
- basch 8y agothats not how they visually expose the setting in the gui. you choose a transmission rate floor, not a power amplitude minimum. https://i.imgur.com/imKDQ14.png https://i.imgur.com/imKDQ14.png there is also a minimum RSSI, but its a per device setting, not a per site setting. https://i.imgur.com/Z6Jsxjl.png https://i.imgur.com/Z6Jsxjl.png Fast Roaming and 802.11 Data Rate Control are the way I would set this setting, vs trying to pick a manual dBm.
- gnu8 8y agoDial down the transmit power on your more distant AP so your laptop won’t think it’s the closest one.
