Adaptive Gateway Selection
Verified with Citrix Workspace App 26.3.10 — updated on July 12, 2026
Supported on: All Citrix Workspace supported platforms
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Citrix Components\Citrix Workspace\Network routing Description
Adaptive Gateway Selection enables Citrix Workspace app to automatically detect and connect to the best Citrix Gateway Service Point of Presence (PoP) based on current connection conditions. If latency exceeds the Latency Threshold (expressed in milliseconds) for longer than the Latency Breach Duration (expressed in seconds), the app initiates a new Gateway Selection. The Wi-Fi Signal Strength Threshold defines the minimum signal needed to perform a gateway selection (expressed as a percentage). If the signal falls below this level, gateway selection will not occur.

Software\Policies\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine Value name: AdaptiveGatewaySelection_Enabled
Enabled: AdaptiveGatewaySelection_Enabled = 1
Disabled: AdaptiveGatewaySelection_Enabled = 0
This policy sets several registry values:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdHighLatency Enabled:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdHighLatency = 300 Disabled:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdHighLatency = (deleted) AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdMinTime Enabled:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdMinTime = 30 Disabled:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdMinTime = (deleted) AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdWifiSignalStrength Enabled:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdWifiSignalStrength = 30 Disabled:
AdaptiveGatewaySelection_ThresholdWifiSignalStrength = (deleted) Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
