A university campus with multiple buildings has received numerous complaints from students about dropped video calls and intermittent connectivity issues on their devices as they move between lecture halls. The network administrator suspects problems in the wireless network settings associated with client roaming. What is the most effective adjustment that can address these roaming issues and enhance connectivity stability?
Modify the RSSI threshold settings
Adjust the Quality of Service (QoS) configurations
Optimize the SCTP settings on the network controllers
Fine-tuning the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) threshold can significantly enhance the roaming experience by determining the sensitivity of when a device should switch to a stronger signal access point, thus maintaining steadier connectivity. Adjusting transmit power primarily affects the range and strength of the signal emitted by access points but does not directly optimize how devices roam between them. Although SCTP optimization might appear related to performance, it mainly deals with transport protocols for session initiation tasks rather than wireless roaming. Lastly, tweaking QoS settings is generally geared towards prioritizing traffic types over the network and would not specifically resolve roaming transitions.
