Title:
Network manager should connect to access point with strongest signal
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I work in an office with a number of access points and I work in
different offices. Depending on the room I'm in the access point with
the strongest signal is not the same.
What you expected to happen:
Network Manager should try to connect to the stored wifi network with the
strongest signal and not follow the list blindly.
What happened instead:
When I put my laptop on sleep and go to another office, Network Manager tries
to connect to the first network that was added instead of the one with the
strongest signal.

Maybe one could check how Android manages Wifi connection and copy its code
(it's a linux OS), because Android seems to connect to the strongest signal
instead.
Using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bit.
network-manager version: 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7
