Wireless = clueless

If you are in a large(ish) office or hotel etc,and you have a poor Wi-Fi signal, try turning off Wi-Fi for a few seconds (pop it into aeroplane mode). You may suddenly receive a stronger signal once you turn it back on.

Why? Wi-Fi devices are supposed to roam to the nearest access point, but most don't.

We tested this using 10 x mobile phones and 5 laptops, and not one of the devices roamed until they lost the Wi-Fi signal completely. Things may have improved with Wi-Fi 6 and 7. You can sleep easily now.
