Hi,

I have heard back from the team:

Both are different scenarios:

1. Multiple networks with different SSID: Not supported now, part of future backlog.

2. Multiple networks with same SSID but different BSSID: WPA supplicant has a fix (mentioned in release notes) to choose the best RSSI network.

Hi,

Amanda is on vacation and I have been assigned the ticket. I have inquired internally regarding this and will keep you updated.

So is it correct that Nordic (or Zephyr) has no module that will auto-connect to a list of APs or handoff between them? That's unfortunate.

NCS 2.6.1 was just released and I haven't looked at it yet, but noticed this in the release notes:

Selecting the best RSSI access point.

Does that apply to this scenario?

Hi,

This also needs Zephyr changes so that it might be part of the full releases in the future. I have forwarded the request to the team, but there is no schedule promise.
