Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PiCorePlayer multiple SSID
Even if you set priority in wpa_supplicant.conf, it will connect to the highest priority that it finds first. Once connected if a higher priority SSID becomes available, it will not automatically switch. I don't believe pi based hardware has the capability of defining minimum connection rates to force a hop.But you could script it. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

If you use the same SSID on all APs and point a Pi at that what happens when you reboot APs is that the Pi connects to the first one it sees which could be some distance away and doesnt move to a nearer one with a stronger signal when that comes online. Hence a Pi in my office is set to use MySSID_Office so that it doesnt accidentally find itself connected to the one in the house.

paul- wrote: > Of course.

For example I have 2 APs one in my house and one in my office. On the office one I have MySSID_Office and MySSID The same in the house MySSID_House and MySSID For devices that I want to always connect to a specific AP I use MySSID_Office or MySSID_House as appropriate For devices that may roam e.g. iPhone etc I use MySSID VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 -> Celestion F20s *Office* - Pi3+Sreen -> Sony TAFE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi2+DAC & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - Pi2+DAC ->ToppingTP21 ->AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - SB Touch ->Sherwood AVR ->Mordaunt Short M10s Everything controlled by iPeng d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111999 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PiCorePlayer multiple SSID
For multiple networks you need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf manually.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] PiCorePlayer multiple SSID
I have PiCorePlayer running on a PiZero and set up the WiFi, via wpa_supplicant.conf with manual config. It works fine, but I have three different WiFi networks at home, and this is a portable device, so it would be nice if it would just connect to whichever SSID it found, rather then struggle along with the one it's set up with. If I re-write my wpa_supplicant.conf to add # Maintained by piCorePlayer I can then edit the WiFi settings via the interface which will make life easier anyway, but can I set up more than one SSID? jemhayward's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=55065 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111999 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
