ESP8266 doesn't connect to the strongest AP in a mesh
Posted: Mon May 03, 2021 3:56 pmHello,
I use ESP8266WiFi since a long time. Now I upgraded my WiFi to a mesh and I have the impression that the ESP8266 doesn't connect to the strongest AP. Instead it seems rather coincidental to which AP the ESP8266 connects to. Is there a way to ensure the connection to the strongest AP? I believe ESP8266WiFiMulti Library is not usable for this use case.
I could imagine that checking the SSID and RSSI could be the right approach, but maybe there is already a ready solution available?
Thank you.
