Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Device should connect to the network with the best connection. I have an AC main router and an AX access point with different SSIDs. On initial connection (after waking from sleep or toggling wifi), it connects to my AC router even if there is only 1 bar and I am right next to the AX access point with full bars.

If I change my access point to also be AC, it works as expected and connects to the SSID with the stronger signal.

My other portable devices such as Windows laptops and Samsung phones connect to the device with the stronger signal as expected, even when access point is set to AX.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Be within range of both AC and AX access points
2. Toggle wifi or sleep and wake deck
3. See which AP is autoconnected to.

I do not have a Wifi 6E access point to test with, but that would also be an interesting experiment
