My router (Google WiFi) have 2 access points with the same ssid
: a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz. It seems that multicasting between these networks is unstable, so I want my raspberry (buster) to force a connection to the 2.4GHz network.
I've tried to add bssid
and bssid_blacklist
to the config, but it did not work. After a while, the connection changes to 5GHz
# /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="name"
psk="*****"
bssid=70:3A:CB:84:01:B4
bssid_blacklist=70:3A:CB:84:01:B0
}
Is there a way to achieve this?
Update: None of the options seem to work. Here is a discussion on the official forum
Update 2: freq_list
seems to solve the problem, although many on the internet say it won't work. Here is my new config:
network={
bssid=70:3A:CB:84:01:B4
freq_list=2412 2417 2422 2427 2432 2437 2442 2447 2452 2457 2462
ssid="..."
psk="*****"
bssid_blacklist=70:3A:CB:84:01:B0
}
My raspberry has been running on Buster Raspbian at 2.4GHz for a week now
