I recently bought a USB WiFi/BT dongle for a W11 rig as a quick and cheap backup connection. After messing around with it for a couple of days, I found a weird bug wherein it would prefer to connect to my primary router and not any of my APs that have better signal strength.
After some tinkering with different settings, I found out that it would only switch to the better signal AP if I switched my primary router to WPA2 authentication. It's decidedly prioritizing WPA3 to connect to over better signal strength with WPA2 APs.
My questions are, is there a way to prioritize better signal strength over authentication protocol? What determines connection prioritization? I'd really prefer to keep WPA3 when possible within the network.
Relevant Details:
8851BU based USB dongle
W11
RT-AX55 router
RT-AC68U APs
If I mis-posted this in the wrong topic, apologies. Advice on the right place would be appreciated.
Also, if there are other relevant details I missed, just ask.
