Hi all,

Would like to confirm if Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 Supports 802.11 K or V or R ?

If not, how does the Windows Lan card

"Roaming Aggressiveness or Roaming Sensitivity."

configuration working?

From what I can find, Windows 10 will support fast roaming if the client has a supported intel wireless adapter, but it isn't supported on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. This is where I'm getting that information: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021562/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html.

The Roaming Agressiveness setting will alter the signal strength threshold the wireless adapter is using when deciding whether or not to scan for other APs in the area.

Lowest: The WiFi adapter will trigger roaming scan for another candidate AP when the signal strength with the current AP is very low.
Medium-Low
Medium: Recommended value.
Medium-High
Highest: The WiFi adapter will trigger roaming scan for another candidate AP when the signal strength with the current AP is still good.

The page I'm referencing doesn't mention that this would require the fast roaming 802.11 standards (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005546/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html).
