Wireless Roaming Faulty

I know I'm not going to get the roaming capabilities of like Meru, but I just did some initial testing on Lenovo Twist with inSIDDER Office running and walked around the building to see signal strengths and see if the AP would roam.

At first it didn't, but I forgot to change the Roaming Aggressiveness up to 5 on the Intel Centrino Wifi card. While walking around for about 15 minutes the laptop only successfully reassociated to a different access point when it was near it.

Is there anything to help the roaming capabilities on the UTM? I know the wireless client card would have to be changed to a higher level or is it best to lower the transmit power for the specific antenna?

Roaming is largely controlled by the wireless client.

Yeah and i know certain drivers are better than others. I'm going to update the driver on my tablet and do another walkthrough. I need to do a proper site survey and see about possibly turning down signal strength to help with overlapping.
