Can anybody offer suggestions on the best RSSI settings they have found for wifi roaming?

I keep playing with the 'minimum RSSI' & 'adjacent AP RSSI over' settings, but devices seem to be jumping access points when they don't need to.

Most people seem to report the opposite trouble - ie clients clinging on to distant APs, despite better signals from closer APs. To this end, mine (AP903/AP802) are set to "Minimum RSSI" = -62dBm (which is the highest it can be set to). I even played around with reducing the AP power, to try and dislodge clients - though to little avail)

If you look at SYSLOG, you should be able to ascertain if the AP is actually playing a part, or if it's just the client, doing its thing. (In general, it's the client's decision - the AP can disconnect it and block it 'for a while' ... but it may still (try and) come back).
