Why is it soooo fucking hard to have Wifi behave? It refuses to connect to the strongest/nearest AP! This happens on Windows and also in Android. I have an app for my phone that /sort of/ helps with this but good fucking lord, how hard can it be to say "See that fucker right there at 98% strength? How about we drop this one that is only 33% and jump on the better one!" Fuck me!
3G/LTE also does this so maybe it's something with the specs? If you have something streaming in 3G and move into an LTE area the phone /Will Not/ jump to LTE until all traffic has stopped.
Maybe these specs were put together by the Amish, I bet that's it! Fucking Amish anyway!
My Wifi behaves in a super-awesome way.
HTH!
But you hold it together with evil black magic rituals.
Shh! The goat lived and all charged were dropped. I thought we'd agreed to leave it at that? :T
You can't escape Teh Great Network Charges.
Is super awesome code for acting just like I described?
I always set any of our wifi devices at work to have the maximum roaming aggressiveness, just so that the better APs are always used.
Ha, I didn't realise "roaming aggressiveness" was actually a setting, I've checked and it is!
It is, I always change that on our laptops in work. Seems to be there on most Intel-based wifi cards. Don't seem to have that setting on my phone though, so it really is a hardware and driver based thing. You can either change it, or you can't.
Does affect battery life a bit though, as it's checking more often when it's set to be more aggressive.
I've done that in the past but didn't notice much difference. Do you notice it working for you?
Yeah, on some of our laptops I see it jumping between APs when I'm walking down a corridor much quicker.
Well I guess I'll give it another try then. I just remember being very disappointed the last time I tried it.
