    Hello,

    Microsoft hasn't published the exact details for dBm threshold into wireless connections, but the industry standards are:

    -50 dBm: This is considered an excellent signal strength.
    -60 dBm: This is a good signal strength.
    -70+ dBm: This is an unreliable signal strenght.

    In Windows you can adjust the sensitivity for roaming BSSID signals following the next steps:

    1.Open Device Manager.
    2.Locate Network Adapters.
    3.Select your network or wireless device
    4.Right-click > Properties > Select the Advanced tab.
    5.Choose Roaming Aggressiveness (or Sensitivity)
    6.Set the preferred value from the drop-down menu:
    -Lowest
    -Medium-low
    -Medium
    -Medium-High
    -High

    Explanation:
    Lowest: Your device will not roam.
    Medium-Low: Roaming is allowed.
    Medium: It is a balanced setting between roaming and performance.
    Medium-High: Roaming is more frequent.
    Highest: The device continuously tracks the WiFi quality. If any degradation occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access point.
