Wifi auto connect not working when far from router, but manually clicking works, why not make it automatic without needing to be close to the router?

When I'm far away from a network point, auto connect doesn't work and doesn't even try, but when I move closer it tries and connects. Very annoying because I can still manually connect when far away, and I have auto-connect enabled, so why not auto-connect even when the strength is on 2 bars? Still better than my data so I would like for it to connect even when far, without me needing to do it manually or walk closer to the router.

Sounds like a minor issue but it gets annoying, not connecting and using data wastes battery, heats up the device and might have terrible speeds compared to regular wifi it can connect to

My phone auto connects whenever I am anywhere in range of my network.
