If you have a Google Pixel phone, and your mesh WiFi roaming performance is poor, you might want to turn off Adaptive Connectivity.
Adaptive Connectivity is a feature available on some Google Pixel phones (Pixel 4a and newer). According to Google, Adaptive Connectivity aims to improve performance and extend battery life by actively managing network connections on your Pixel phone. On supported devices, Adaptive Connectivity is turned on by default. For more information, see Google's The latest features for Pixel owners are here article.
Our observations indicate that Adaptive Connectivity might interfere with WiFi connectivity on Pixel phones by reducing their ability to roam between WiFi broadcast devices like mesh satellites or access points. As a result, your Pixel phone might experience poor WiFi roaming performance with Adaptive Connectivity turned on.
We recommend that you turn off Adaptive Connectivity on your Pixel phone to maximize your WiFi performance. For more information about how to turn Adaptive Connectivity off, see Google's Control airplane mode, private DNS, and other network settings on your Pixel phone help page.
