MAC address of the access point (BSSID) for WISP connection

KeeneticOS allows you to specify the MAC address of the access point (BSSID) when connecting in Wireless ISP (WISP) mode. This feature is useful when there are several access points with the same name (SSID) on the air. In this case, you can select a particular access point for connection by manually specifying its MAC address.

In the router's web interface, this setting is located in the Wireless ISP menu on the Internet Connection via Wi-Fi Hotspot page. In dual-band router models (2.4/5 GHz), this setting is available in both bands.

Go to the Internet Connection via Wi-Fi Hotspot page and click on Show advanced settings in the Wireless Connection Settings section. In the BSSID (MAC address of the access point) field that appears, enter the MAC address of the access point you want to connect to.

If you connect via WISP to another Keenetic device, run the following command on it to find the MAC address of the Wi-Fi access point, which you need to enter in the BSSID field. For a 2.4 GHz network:

show interface AccessPoint

For the 5 GHz network:

show interface AccessPoint_5G

You can execute the command from the web interface (web CLI) or via a telnet connection. For detailed information, please refer to the instructions Command-line interface (CLI).
