Bug Description
For a few images now, on mako and flo my devices seem to cling onto access points which are far away rather than nearby ones.
At home I have two access points named such that I know which is which (popey_2.4_bed & popey_2.4_den).
When I boot up an Ubuntu device (phone/tablet) they always seem to attach to the far away access point and stay on it until I forcibly choose the other access point.
I notice this a lot because I find using the phone slow because it's using the 'bed' AP which is at the other end of the house and through a few walls, whereas the 'den' one is right next to me in the office.

This still happens on latest image. Every time I boot I have to switch to a different access point to get a signal.
