When IWD is searching for a network to connect to automatically, the following
|
||||
factors are taken into account:
|
||||
|
||||
- Signal strength level
|
||||
|
||||
- Is the network a legacy WPA network, or RSN compliant? More weight is given
|
||||
to networks that are RSN compliant.
|
||||
|
||||
- Is the network Open or requires authentication? More weight is given to
|
||||
networks that require authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
- Does the network support privacy in its Capability Information field? More
|
||||
weight is given to BSSes that do.
|
||||
|
||||
- Maximum rate of the network
|
||||
|
||||
- Channel Utilization (from BSS Load) of the network
|
||||
|
||||
- Has the network been connected to before and if so, how long ago? Networks
|
||||
that have not been connected to previously are ignored for auto-connect
|
||||
purposes.
