[Ovmsdev] WiFi client not switching to better AP

[Stephen Casner]

Many months ago I installed another AP for the home network in my
garage because the signal quality to the main router was too poor for
OVMS to operate.  Today I needed to restart the garage AP, so OVMS
hear the main router again and associated to it.  But even after the
garage AP came back up, OVMS stuck with the main router and kept
toggling between WiFi and modem because the signal quality was bad.

It this behavior just a function of the WiFi driver that we can't
control, or is it something we could improve?

I fixed it by "wifi mode off" then "wifi mode client".
