Avoid poor connections not available in advanced wifi menu

[musicfreak]

I have a Z1C for a few months now and I'm very happy with it. There is however one thing I am missing, the avoid poor connections in the advanced wifi menu. According to www.techview.co/2014/03/set-up-wi-fi-xperia-z1-compact it should be there, but I cannot find it, not in Android 4.4 and also not in Andoid lollipop. Is it a secret option, do I have to search elsewhere?

It is there in 4.4.4 Settings then wi-fi then tap the 3 dots then Advanced then for me it's the 4th option down Avoid poor connections

I never saw this option on my Z3, may be others can confirm if it's really available.

Thanks for the quick replies. I have never seen it in 4.4.4, maybee I have overlooked it. But I hope that someone with 5.0.2 can point me out where I can find this option.

I've checked a Z1, Z Ultra and a M2 all running either 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 and all have this option as above been the 4th option on the advanced list

I have some screenshot for you. Sorry for the large images. When I made the screenshots I was in airplane mode, but the options I see are the same when I'm not.

You said KK that's LP not KK 4.4, I'm unable to check as I'm staying on KK

[Thommo]

Maybe it's called something else because it won't avoid picking up connections but it will avoid connecting to a paired connection if the strength is poor

Sorry for the confusion, I was on Kitkat but I'm on Lollipop now. I see different options in the advanced menu but none of them is about avoiding known networks with a bad signal. at home I don't care about this option but I'm on a camping side now with a bit poor wifi, that's why I have trouble connection with it now.
