It wasn't the most fun part of the project, and it was targeted at non-moving home devices so a more powerful wifi logic wasn't really needed. In the rare scenario where the customer didn't see its wifi network, he/she could just refresh the list.
I basically just added an ugly timer and moved on more important things.
Thanks for the information on those situations, I didn't know.
It was actually mostly targeted to (multiple) European countries. Yet I would probably just re-do it the same way if I re-did that, I prefer the simplicity (of the code) of having the user manually refresh the list for such niche issues over a complex code others would have to maintain. Moreover, the wifi just has to be configured once, at first install.
When I read that, I'm happy to not rely on tickets system / scrum or to ever get into trouble because I'm doing the right things. I would probably quit a job like that, it sounds like hell to be considered that way.
