Ask wifi-U: Why Clients Connect to the Wrong AP

One of the most common misconceptions in Wi-Fi is: “The client will always connect to the closest AP.”

Not necessarily.

Wi-Fi clients make their own roaming decisions based on factors like RSSI, SNR, signal quality, interference, device behavior, and roaming algorithms. That’s why simply adding more APs doesn’t automatically mean better Wi-Fi.

Good Wi-Fi design requires understanding what’s happening between the client and the network. In this video, we look at:
✅ Why clients don’t always choose the closest AP
✅ How roaming decisions are made
✅ Why signal quality matters more than distance
✅ How AP placement impacts roaming
✅ How proper Wi-Fi design improves the client experience
