I searched everywhere for this and can't find a solution.

At home I have 2x networks with 2x différents SSIDs. One is upstairs the other downstairs. Whenever I go upstairs, the phone stays connected to the downstairs WiFi and whenever I go downstairs it stays connected to the upstairs WiFi. I'd like to automate the switching... 

As of now I always have to manually switch WiFi whenever I change floors in my house, which is annoying and cumbersome... 

I found someone on reddit that mentionned that I can create a routine in my samsung z fold 5 to fix the problem but his proposition doesn't work as there is one missing option in my routines... 

The routine is as follows:

1. If connected to one of my WiFi networks at home 
2. And the WiFi signal strength is below 2 bars
3. Wait 5 seconds before next action
4. Turn off WiFi 
5. When routine is completed REVERSE these actions.....😕 

Problem being NUMBER 5 is impossible if number 2 is selected in the conditions.....😕 

Anybody got a solution to my predicament? 

* update * found an ugly but working solution: I replace the turn off WiFi with turn on flight mode which for some god forsaken reason HAS the reverse these actions when routine completed as opposed to turn off WiFi which doesn't.... 

** update 2 **

I didn't like the flight mode version because of the battery drain it would produce so I found another working solution. I replaced the flight mode with bixby quick command turn WiFi on (after turning WiFi off)
