Wireless capabilities

I have 2 wireless networks in house.
Can you tell me if my phone (Android 2.3.4, Verizon"s Droid 2 Global) can recognize stronger connection and connect to closer/faster router automaticaly when I move from room to room, just like PC does? I haven't found any setting nor app. I don't want to keep changing it manually.
 
As long as both are remembered I'd think so. My sister just walks around and has her wifi enabled and she gets automatically connected to all known networks on her Galaxy (she has no data plan so her mobile data is off).

My gf lives at a college dorm and she has separate internet and internet provided by my college.

Therefore, when at her place I always have the option to choose either the internet on campus or hers. I have both saved on my phone, currently a Galaxy Nexus running CM10, and the phone seems to choose which connection is stronger, i have seen it periodically turn off the internet provided by the college and turn my gf's on.

I don't know if its just because the internet from my college sucks, or some kind of built in feature that allows the phone to connect to the stronger of the 2 signals. However, if the phone loses the first signal and the second is strong it should automatically reconnect to the other one.
