WiFi Priority

[SonicXVe]

I would like the steam deck to be able to automatically switch to another saved network if it is faster\given higher priority and has a comparable or better signal. The scenario i encounter is that i have multiple APs not part of a mesh network and when i move across the house it stays connected to a weaker signal instead of switching to a stronger network for downloading. Another case is i have a much faster 6Ghz network but it tends to broadcast its ssid less aggressively so i always end up connected to an inferior network first. Yet another case is where i have "xfinitywifi" saved for public wifi but because theres no prioritization it often connects to this over my home network. With the ability to automatically switch to a better network, or at least one i've explicitly prioritized above a weaker one, i could let the steam deck automatically connect to any known network knowing i will always be on the best network for where im seated. In case this causes connection issues with some games it should probably be optional during gameplay or per-game toggleable.

In desktop mode, I noticed that I can click on the Wifi icon on the taskbar and input a merit value to prioritize a specific SSID.

I'm currently testing how to not connect to the Wifi of my neighbors.
