The story of Sam illustrates exactly what Roaming Sensitivity is. It is a setting that tells your device

Roaming sensitivity (often labeled ) is a network adapter setting that determines the threshold at which a device decides to drop its current Wi-Fi connection and search for a stronger access point (AP).

As Dave walked, the signal from the desk Wi-Fi router (let's call it ) grew weaker. The walls of TechTower were thick, and the signal started to sputter.

The next day, Dave walked the same path. As he stepped out of his office, Sam felt the signal from Router A drop just a tiny bit. Immediately, Sam’s new "High Sensitivity" kicked in.

Dave, tired of dropped connections, opened Sam’s advanced Wi-Fi settings. He found a slider labeled (sometimes called "Roaming Aggressiveness").

Think of it like a car’s fuel gauge:

Sam started "flapping"—jumping back and forth between the two routers constantly. This rapid switching caused a brief interruption every time. Dave’s video call froze for a second, then caught up, then froze again.
