| 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. |
