Networkmanager doesn't connect to WiFi



Dear

I am experimenting with dynamic behaviour of NM with multiple networks and how handover occurs between WiFi/mobile network. I am moving away from the WiFi access point as far that the NM is unable to connect to the WiFi. NM is restarted and gets a connection to the mobile connection (lowest autoconnect priority). Afterwards, I am moving very close to the WiFi AP but NM doesn't connect to it.

If I execute "nmcli dev wifi list" after moving a little bit from the APs away, I get:
*  SSID               MODE    CHAN  RATE       SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY

   forge_wlan_adhoc5  Ad-Hoc  100   54 Mbit/s  24      ▂___  --

This shows me that both station APs (SSID=STATION) have signal of 14% and 19%. If I am executing "Service network-manager restart" and again ask the WiFi signal level with "nmcli dev wifi list", I get:

*  SSID               MODE    CHAN  RATE       SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY

My robot is not moved but signal level after NM restart is noticeably higher than before. It seems that the signal level sticks to the percentages which have been measured at the beginning of my experiment.

Can someone help me with this issue?

Best regards
