Question

A clerk’s laptop remains associated to a distant AP across the municipal records wing, running low MCS and consuming excess airtime while a nearer AP is available. Which optimization approach best addresses the sticky-client performance hit?

Accepted Answer

Improve RF overlap and client roam aggressiveness/policies so the station leaves the far AP for a better neighbor — Sticky clients are like shoppers who won’t leave a crowded register even when the next lane is empty. Low MCS on a far AP burns everyone’s airtime. Nudge roam aggressiveness and fix overlap so the laptop actually moves to the closer AP.

Answer

Disable all roaming features and pin every client to its first AP permanently

Answer

Force 2.4 GHz only so the sticky AP remains the strongest forever

Answer

Remove Block Ack agreements to push the client to reassociate
