Our campus wireless network has several dozen access points scattered
around campus. From where I sit in my office, I can see about a dozen
or so. Frequently, NM (or the driver) selects an AP with a relatively
weak signal (to the point of being unusable), even though I sit across
the hall from a much stronger one.
I don't want to bind the configuration to a single BSSID, because I do
move around the campus and I want to be able to connect wherever I am.
But I do want to blacklist the weak APs near my office, so I don't have
to force reassociation (which seems to require power-cycling my wireless
interface).
I don't see a way to do that in the pull-down Edit Connections menu. Is
it possible to add such a feature? Or should I be asking for something
else to deal with this issue? (For example, is it a driver bug?)
Thanks.
