Wi-Fi Scanning and excluding 802.11n 5Ghz networks

[lil_spli]

Does anyone know the answer to this. We’re now having problems with mesh networks. Obviously many APs are being returned in the scan and the ESP doesn’t seem to be able to connect properly to the network.

Thanks

Ah, thanks WiFive

So if I was to set the wifi_sort_method_t in wifi_sta_config_t to sort on rssi, it'll just connect to the closest AP with the SSID? We store the SSID and passphrase in the NVS, so I assume that if a user was to move the device to another location which was closer to another node, it would just connect to that?

Thanks again

Or should I set the channel to 0? I'm not sure if the AP channel is stored in NVS. I have seen somewhere in the forums that it wasn't.
