min. AP signal strength
The client has a signal strength set.
Note
iPCF / iPCF-HT / IPCF-MC enabled
When iPCF / iPCF-HT / IPCF-MC is enabled, the signal strength cannot be set.
The client must receive the signal coming from the access point with at least the specified
signal strength to be able to connect to this access point.
The signal strength can fluctuate briefly, e.g. due to the client moving or other disruptive
factors. To filter out fluctuations of the signal a hysteresis is used to specify a range
around this value, in which the client does not change access points before this range is
undershot.
If the signal coming from the access point falls below this range, the client disconnects
from the connected access point and searches for a new access point.
●
Roaming Threshold
Specify the threshold after which the client roams to the new access point.
–
High
Changes only at a significantly higher field strength to the AP with the stronger signal.
–
Medium
Changes at a moderately higher field strength to the AP with the stronger signal.
–
Low
Changes at a slightly higher field strength to the AP with the stronger signal.
