Ubiquiti UniFi Access Point - Minimum RSSI And WiFi Roaming

[ramsayzaki]

I love your small humor tidbits. Nice presentation.

Thank you for a detailed and carefully presented analysis of these settings. I've struggled to make sense of them in my house and your work has provided clarity on what is most likely going on. Excellent work - I'm now a subscriber.

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for taking the time to create it.

[jimprior]

Very interesting and thought provoking, thank you for an excellent discussion and explanation.

[NedTheDread]

Wow great video showing EXACTLY what is happening, this is gold, thank you for sharing!

1:16 the 'interference blocker' video is nowhere to find, did you erase it?

Apple devices not roaming is pretty inline with what I experience as a wireless engineer. Too many complaints of slow speeds on IOS devices. Thank you for this

I have two APs in my apartment and I successfully used minimum RSSI to force clients to connect the the closer AP every single time. Before that they were locked in onto the AP. But since I am trying to get around 900Mbps speeds, I need very strong signal. The minimum RSSI works great in that situation and there is no back-and-forth because in no place I do have a really weak signal. So I believe the main problem in your situation is that you have too little overlap between the APs.

Thanks for explaining why RSSI is just useless.

I really appreciate you making this video. One flaw I see is that you are referencing the client's received RSSI (how loud it hears the AP). But the RSSI limit is on the AP side, so it is the Unifi side where you need to monitor if the RSSI cutoff works. The RSSI level the AP hears from the iPad will never be the same as the RSSI level the iPad hears from the AP since these are received levels from 2 different radios. I would love to see this experiment repeated where the RSSI of the client is monitored from the AP, instead of the client.

Have you talked about the interference blocker in any of your videos since?

[hostifi]

Good content! If you are looking for work get in touch we are hiring.🔥

[TheJoaolyraaraujo]

Thank you. I would love to know better strategies for roaming better

[seenstee]

You state that apple devices initiate roaming at -75 rssi, do you know what Pixel or Windows will initiate at?

[toddshreve]

This is great!
AP selection is such a bizarre thing. I have clients connecting to far weaker APs all the time. If I lock the client to a better AP, signal strength is great. Then I remove the lock and it re-connects back to the AP which it has terrible connection to. The better AP has a zillion clients, however, and the other has very few. So I was thinking it might be some kind of congestion management. After some tinkering it does seem the client chooses an affinity. Defaulting some client devices results in a different affinity. Or so it seems. Help us understand, 777 or 404 ;)

[TheJoaolyraaraujo]

What happened if you have overlapping AP in the middle. Would minimum RSSI makes sense?

[nightfallen]

Is there a way to run wifiman on a non-unifi gateway/router/firewall setup?

[rajanpatel]

@777 or 444  hey are you able to create a tutorial on how to use wireshark to analyze the data for Unifi access point? I have a PC and I am willing to compensate you for your time
