A school with 28 rooms needs wifi coverage for 150 K-8 students with 100 Chromebooks. The kids bring in their phones as well. I visited the school after hours for a coverage survey yesterday. 1. As I connected to different Unifi access points during a site survey at a school taking snapshots, I found that inSSIDer continued to show readings for the previously connected Unifi UAP-AC-PRO AP. My signal noise kept getting worse, at which point I saw that inSSIDer was reporting on my connection to the first AP, now down the hallway and behind a concrete wall. I found that my wifi adapter would not roam and connect to the closest AP; we solved that problem by adding new SSIDs and assigning to only 1 AP. As I traveled from room to room, I connected to the SSID physically nearest me. (Later, I found that [Nirsoft.net](http://Nirsoft.net) has a utility called WifiInfoView, which is supposed to enable me to connect to different APs on demand. I will try that on another day.) Forum posts from a google search indicated that this is normal behavior. Is that experience the same as yours? 2. I could not refresh inSSIDer on demand, to reflect my signal strength to the new AP in the new room. The “All Networks” view showed me connected to the previous SSID. I accomplished what I needed by exiting the software, counting to 5 and relaunching. Is there any other way to reload or refresh the readings within the software? 3. How can I report from the snapshots I took with my inSSIDer and Plus subscription? I am not seeing any report capabilities at [my.metageek.com](http://my.metageek.com), nor any way to export the data. Any advice is appreciated. ---

Hello [ahosea3-tech](https://community.oscium.com/u/ahosea3-tech), Unfortunately we do not have any advanced reporting features or capabilities available from [my.metageek.com](http://my.metageek.com) or inSSIDer with MetaGeek Plus at this time, but this is on our radar. The best software for advanced reporting would be Chanalyzer + Wi-Spy DBx.

[…] Forum posts from a google search indicated that this is normal behavior. Is that experience the same as yours? Yes, unfortunately roaming behavior is dictated by the client and not always seamless. I recommend strategically placing your APs on the best channels as possible as discussed more [in this guide here](https://www.metageek.com/training/resources/design-dual-band-wifi/). It may also be a good idea to disable lower data rates like 1 and 2 Mbps to ensure slow and far away clients are not allow to maintain connection with the radio, as discussed more [here](https://www.metageek.com/training/resources/access-points-support-legacy/). > I could not refresh inSSIDer on demand, to reflect my signal strength to the new AP in the new room. The “All Networks” view showed me connected to the previous SSID. I accomplished what I needed by exiting the software, counting to 5 and relaunching. Is there any other way to reload or refresh the readings within the software? A hard refresh is another thing on our to-do list for inSSIDer! I will be sure to pass your feedback to our product owner.
