I have a
situation where I have multiple APs in a building all with the
same SSID and WPA key but set to non-clashing frequencies. When
I close my laptop and WiFi shuts down and I move to a new
location the Network Manager seems to connect to the original
AP, rather than one with a much stronger signal. The algorithm for AP connection is suboptimal (in other words dumb). The selection process should scan ALL APs, figure out which ones are known (SSID and WPA); measure their signal strength and then choose the known AP with the strongest signal. How hard is that?
