How do I change Roaming Aggressiveness and Transmit Power on my network adapter?

1 - Search for Control Panel using the Search Bar

 

2- Click on Network and Internet

 

3 - Open Network and Sharing center

 

4 - Click on change adapter settings and find your wireless network adapter

 

5 - Right click on your wireless network adapter and click on properties

 

6 - Click on Configure

 

7 - Click on the Advanced Tab

 

8- Set "Transmit Power" to maximum and "Roaming Aggressiveness" to lowest setting

 

 

OR

 

 

1 - Go to the device manager

 

2 - Select your wifi card

 

3 - Go to Properties

 

4 - Go to Advanced

 

5 - Set "Transmit Power" to maximum, and "Roaming Aggressiveness" to lowest setting

 

Aggressive roaming settings can cause the card to try to switch access points in environments where there are many wifi networks present - often in office buildings with multiple businesses on same floor, or in apartment buildings. Increased transmit power can help with some trade off for run time on battery.

 

*You can also set roaming aggressiveness to high to search for an access point with a better signal.
