Roaming involves the client authenticating against the new BSSID and deauthenticating from the current BSSID. Roam performance describes how long a client needs to authenticate successfully to a new BSSID.įinding a valid network and AP is only part of the process. The client must complete the roam process quickly and without interruption so the user doesn't experience downtime. This is true even if the macOS client is idle or transmitting/receiving data. MacOS selects a target BSSID whose reported RSSI is 12 dB or greater than the current BSSID’s RSSI.
#MACOS MONTEREY WIFI DROPPING MAC#
MacOS Monterey supports 802.11k on Mac computers with Apple silicon.Įarlier versions of macOS don't support 802.11k but do interoperate with SSIDs that have 802.11k enabled.
If multiple 5 GHz SSIDs receive the same score, macOS chooses a network based on these criteria: Higher score networks offer a better Wi-Fi experience. macOS uses these details along with signal strength measurements (RSSI) to score candidate networks. MacOS considers information shared by networks about channel utilization and quantity of associated clients. MacOS always defaults to the 5 GHz band over the 2.4 GHz band. This happens as long as the RSSI for a 5 GHz network is at least -68 dBm and the load on the network is not excessive.
