The controller is trying it's best to remain linked to the AP it is
connected to up until the point at which it gives up. Then it
reconnects to the one with the strongest signal. Forcing it to connect
to only one may improve your experience slightly but is more likely to
cause you problems with drop-outs which is presumably why you have two
APs installed.

If you use the controller predominently around one AP then it may be an
idea to lock it to that one so that it doesn't accidentally connect to
the weaker AP.
