Multiple WiFi Networks

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 3 comments

I have encountered that it shows multiple versions of the same Wifi network, often varying in signal strength. This both happens on KDE Plasma 5 and MATE.
I am running GhostBSD 19.10.

That could mean you have multiple wifi with the same name, I had noticed that my ISP wifi had 2 wifi one at 2.5g and the other one at 5G, so I have renamed them. To prove it is a bug I would need ifconfig wlan0 scan output.

I think they are different access points. But they should just show as one, and connect to the closest.

Actually they are different access points with the same name. If you look at the BSSID they are different. It is not an issue.
