I live in a fairly large apartment with brick walls and tons of interference from neighbors' wifi and presumably other devices. Therefore, I have three access points. Everywhere in the apartment has strong coverage from one access point and acceptable coverage from another. My phone is a Samsung Dart, which runs Android 2.2 (Froyo). It has an Atheros AR6000 wi-fi chip in it.
When using my wi-fi for voice (I've tried both Skype and T-mobile's wi-fi calling) while walking across my apartment, the roaming between my access points is not aggressive enough. Sometimes it works seamlessly but usually the call starts to break up for a while before roaming and occasionally the call will drop because I'll get out of range of the AP I'm moving away from before the phone roams to the AP I'm moving towards.
On my laptop, I solved this by changing the roaming option to "very high" in my wireless card's settings using the interface provided by Windows. My three-AP setup works seamlessly on it. Is there any way to get an equivalent setting in Android to make my wifi card roam much more aggressively?
