This visualization shows to which APs the client was associated
during an active survey. As you move along the path, the client
adapter typically roams to the AP that provides the strongest
signal within your WLAN.
It is important to remember that some adapters allow for adjustment
of roaming thresholds; these roaming settings might affect the
roaming behavior and, therefore, this visualization. For example,
consider two APs located 20 meters away from each other with the
signal level ranging from -30 dBm next to the APs to -70 dBm in the
middle of the distance between the APs. As you walk from the first
to the second AP, some clients will roam as soon as they pass the
middle point, while others will not roam until they are only a few
meters away from the second AP. For the same reason, the Associated
AP visualization is heavily dependent upon the walkabout path and
its direction. Walking from the first to the second AP might
produce a picture that would be different from the one produced by
walking in the opposite direction.
