WiFI assistant

I have recently experienced a feature on a device , wi-fi assistant, which allow switching between 2 wifi networks automatically when one of those have poor signal. Can the "wi-fi assistant" from I.O.S. do that, instead switching only when lose the signal ?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Wi-fi prioritization I live in a multi-unit retirement community with many wi-fi networks. Is there a way to select which network my devices clamp onto in various areas, either by placing them in an order or by auto-joining the strongest one that I have access to in a particular area? Applies to iPad (9th generation), iPhone 13, and MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023). TIA!

IPAD AUTO SWICTHING WIFI CONNECTION. I am working in an wide enviroment that we need various wifi connections. Although my ipad is already set to switch automaticlly all our wifi connections, it doesnt swith automaticaly to the strongest signal while android does it perfectly. Ipad swithes the connection only if your previous wifi signal is OFF while android swithes dynamically to the strongest one currently. Is there any solution for that ?

Does macOS automatically join a most preferred network if it becomes available? If a wi-fi network is auto-joined, but then another auto-joinable network becomes available, does macOS automatically switch to the newly available network if it's most preferred? In other words: I have Wi-Fi networks A and B. Both are set to auto-join. B is most preferred compared to A. Only A is active or in range, so my Mac connects to it. The question then is: if B becomes active or in range while it's connected to A, will my Mac automatically connect to B without any input?

We are all users here.....just like you. We can't answer "why" questions about decisions made by Apple management.

You can tell Apple what you want here:
