When selecting a network the default behaviour of WPA supplicant is to prefer higher throughput, it does this by capping the SNR. But in certain environments, reliability is important over throughput and choosing a lower SNR (thought it is greater than "Great SNR") might be sub-optimal. Introduce a configuration option to choose the two options (throughput or reliability).
