Will the WICED device join the one with strongest RSSI?

If not, what is the logic to decide which AP to join?

Which channel the 4 APs used ?

As my previous experience on 43362, It will try to join the first probe response from air. not according the signal !

Cause scan always start from channel 1,  so always is connected to lower channel one.

We solved this by change the scan response callback , reply the scan result sort via signal strength !

Then join AP with specific BSSID, not SSID only.

But if you used another wifi chip maybe it used different algorithm to choice AP to join,

Which is handle by F/W of wifi chip!?
