Windows Computers - Improve WiFi connection
Allow Windows to Search for Better APs While Connected
By default, Windows 11 often stops actively scanning for other access points once it has an established connection. You need to tell it to keep looking:
Open the Start Menu, type Control Panel, and open it.
Click on Network and Sharing Center (make sure your "View by" in the top right is set to Large or Small icons).
Click on Change adapter settings in the left sidebar.
Right-click your active Wi-Fi adapter and select Status.
Click the Wireless Properties button.
Check the box that says: "Look for other wireless networks while connected to this network".
Click OK.
Increase "Roaming Aggressiveness" (This will require Admin access.)
This setting alters the exact signal threshold at which your Wi-Fi card decides to drop a weak AP and jump to a stronger one.
Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
Expand the Network adapters section.
Right-click your Wi-Fi controller (usually labeled Intel, Realtek, or Qualcomm) and select Properties.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Scroll through the Property list and click on Roaming Aggressiveness (or Roaming Sensitivity).
Change the Value dropdown from Medium (the default) to Medium-High or Highest.
Note: "Highest" will make your device track Wi-Fi quality continuously, letting go of weak APs instantly. If you notice brief stuttering during gaming, dial it back to "Medium-High".
Click OK to save the changes
