Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 305 discussion

In this case, the most likely cause of the constant disconnections when moving from one location to another is likely due to a problem with the roaming functionality of the wireless network. The setting that would likely provide better network stability in this situation is the RSSI roaming threshold, which determines the signal strength required for a client device to remain connected to the wireless network. If the roaming threshold is set too low, the client device may disconnect and reconnect to the network too frequently as it moves between different access points. On the other hand, if the threshold is set too high, the client device may not roam to a new access point when necessary, leading to a loss of connectivity. Adjusting the RSSI roaming threshold to an appropriate value may help to improve the stability of the wireless network in this situation.

Roaming threshold refers to the signal strength at which a client device will switch from one access point (AP) to another in a wireless network. The roaming threshold is usually set in terms of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). When the signal strength drops below the roaming threshold, the client device will attempt to roam to another AP with a stronger signal. By optimizing the RSSI roaming threshold, the network administrator can ensure that the client device only switches to another AP when necessary, which can help improve network stability and reduce disconnections.
