Hello,
How can I set the roaming threshold in wpa_supplicant configuration? Where can I find it?
I have to run some tests and I would like that my client Yun changes AP more frequently, as soon as it perceives that there is another one with a stronger signal level.
How can I do that?
Thanks.
It must be sufficient to add this:
bgscan="simple:120:-75:600"
but as I do that on /tmp/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf, after restarting the network, the line disappears leaving me with this:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0
network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="net"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
fixed_freq=1
psk="xxxx"
}
opkg remove wpad-mini
opkg install wpa-supplicant
uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].bgscan='simple:120:-75:600'
uci commit
I don't think it is working, I'll try to explain.
The network I want to connect to is made of 4 APs. While walking in the room I'd like to be connected always to the strongest one but Arduino doesn't seem to have the same approach.
I tried to move around with my Android phone and the things are going perfectly, when I am closer to one of the four AP it connects to that one if stronger than the previous.
I guess it just scans more frequently and it has a kind of policy that the highest signal level the better and therefore it connects to that one every time it perceives it as best AP.
How can I have a similar approach on my Yun? Are there any parameters that I can change?
opkg update
opkg list |grep wpa-supplicant
wpa-supplicant - 20131120-1 - WPA Supplicant
The Yun's wpa-supplicant version is 2.0 hw
The current wpa-supplicant version is 2.5 hw
