Based on your log output, it appears that the credentials of both APs (e.g., SSIDs MAPLEOAK and BigMapleOak and their respective passphrases) have been entered and stored in moOde.
The order in which the WiFi subsystem attempts to connect to stored APs is dependent on the contents of stanzas in the protected file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. and their order. (Consult the InterWeb™ for details about the parameters specified in this file.) In the connection process, the first successful attempt wins.
If you are familiar with the Linux command line, then you can easily examine the quality of the actual connection. For example, on one of my moOde players:
A good connection would show a high "Link Quality" ratio and high "Signal level" (e.g., small negative number). The numbers seen here are pretty good.
Sounds to me as if you may need either to use a nonmetallic case or to use an external WiFi adapter in order ensure a reliable network connection.

Quote:Thank-you. It looks like it has both networks. I assumed it tried the 2.4Ghz (MAPLEOAK) before switching to the 5GHz (BigMapleOak). I tested it with case removed, and it did connect to the 2.4GHz.
