For various reasons I have four wifi networks in my house. Three of them are in the living room, one in my bedroom. When I'm in the bedroom my MX4 is normally trying to connect to one of the "wrong" three, resulting in lots of dropped packets and terrible network performance.

First, it should automatically connect to the strongest network available.

Second, there should be a way to prioritise my networks. In my case one is a "VPN" network where all traffic is routed through Singapore. This is essential when you need it and nightmarishly slow when you don't. Despite my VPN and non-VPN networks having the same signal strength, I need a way to tell my phone to preferentially connect to the non-VPN network when possible.
