Say 15 laptops running Linux connect first lesson of the day in room 1. They stay connected all day. When the next class arrives it takes ages, so they connect to room 2 where there are also students connected. Tablets only is no problem. We've narrowed it to linux.
If students on room 1 should use only the AP in room 1, then you should have different SSID for each room.
Otherwise, who cares to which AP they connect? The computers will connect to the best one they can find.
Geography. It's a school topic :p. If the first batch of students is logged onto "room 1" and they move to another part of the building, their link will start to weaken but other students in room 1 now have to log on to an AP in room 2. After a while you get a very bad efficiency and what's more, you might get devices that cannot connect anywhere because all available APs are out of range. It is just regular practice for a wifi device to support this. It is basically just ridiculous (once again) that NetworkManager doesn't. No need to beat around the bush about it. There is no other solution that really suffices. Now I did notice at some point in my wpa_supplicant log output that there was an automatic changing of BSSID at some point but I can be mistaken, I did not pay a lot of attention to that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
