Two overlapping strong APs in a county clerk office produce rapid back-and-forth reassociations on a laptop. What capture-driven diagnosis fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When two strong APs sit on top of each other, a laptop can bounce like a ping-pong ball between counters. The capture timeline of rapid reassociations is your clue—turn down the overlap, don’t just crank both transmitters louder.
Full Explanation
Excessive or ping-pong roaming appears as frequent reassociations between neighboring BSSIDs with strong overlapping coverage. Raising power on both APs often worsens the problem by enlarging the contested zone. Capture timelines guide RF boundary, roam-margin, and load-balancing fixes.
