This is an unfortunate side effect of the /etc/dawn/config
in the installation package being out of date with how things function, and / or you being a long-term DAWN user with a config file that needs a refresh. I'll work with @PolynomialDivision to get a new baseline config in the next PR.
Many of the options you have under global have evolved to be "per band". The effect is that they are ignored in the global section, and defaults are used for missing values in the per-band sections. It is the defaults that are skewing your scores, as both forms of scoring are "competing".
See https://github.com/Ian-Clowes/DAWN/blob/master/CONFIGURE.md for more details, and for help to move the options to the right section so you can see what is happening.
The quick fix is probaly to add these to each of the 802_11a
and 802_11g
sections:
option rssi '0'
option low_rssi '0'
@Ian-Clowes , might be wrong but raising the question anyway ;-). When supporting WiFi6 would we require an EH configuration next to the current HT and VHT configuration elements ?

Not sure to be honest - I don't track the evolution of wi-fi standards and what is there was added by others. I'm not sure how beneficial the HT and VHT weighting is in the current scoring, so wouldn't personally rush to add more.
I have 2 802.11AX routers with a single SSID configured to broadcast a single SSID in dual 2.4/5G wifi on channels 100/136 for 5G and 1/6 for 2.4G
A wifi 6 station connects using 802.11AX protocols, and the wifi dashboard says it has the following properties on it's link 680.6 Mbit/s, 80 MHz, HE-MCS 7, HE-NSS 2, HE-GI 1 816.7 Mbit/s, 80 MHz, HE-MCS 8, HE-NSS 2, HE-GI 1
The station should be favouring massively channel 136 based on RSSI, but the VHT false seems to skew the numbers.
What is the best config for a dual band network with 2 backhaul wired connected routers?
