Forcing the Client Adapter to Reassociate
The client adapter will attempt to maintain its association to an access point for as long as it can.
Therefore if you are on a fringe area while conducting a site survey, you may want to reinitialize (or
restart) the client adapter in an attempt to force it to disassociate from the access point to which it is
currently associated and reassociate to another access point.
Restarting the client adapter may cause you to lose your wireless network connection.
Note
Follow the steps below to attempt to force the client adapter to disassociate from its current access point
and reassociate to another during a site survey.
Click the Restart Card button on the bottom of the Site Survey screen.

Step 2
