STA stays unconnected due to connection policy bug

[Atin Patel]

STA always try to connect with AP which has strong RSSI value. Now, the AP with strong RSSI value already associated with maximum STAs, so this AP not capable to connect new STA. So, this new STA try to connect continuously with that AP and AP is always reject its request. There was other APs(with same configuration ) present on same channel, Still this new STA does not connect to those APs.

I think there is the capability to connect your ESP32 as a station to a specific access point by specifying a BSSID of a specific access point rather than just the network SSID. It may be that you can change the logic of your app to perform a scan, get the list of access points and then try and connect to one. If it fails, try a different one ... each time using a specifically identified BSSID.
