How wpa_suppicant handles mesh networks with multiple BSSIDs per SSID

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When scan_results returns multiple rows with the same SSID but
different BSSIDs, how does wpa_supplicant select which BSSID to connect
to?

Does it choose the strongest signal level?

Does it iterate through each BSSID until one succeeds?

Is there any way to control this process?
