WiFi list of duplicated SSID access points (AP)

[ilangr]

Hello,
We are having any issue when using ESP32-S3 chip. After integrating the SDK and implementing the WiFi capabilities, we faced a special case which we think isn't handled well.
In case there are two different APs (access points) that contain the same SSID, lets say "router_ex", the AP scan gives us both of them.
If we compare it to Mediatek chip for example (MT7697), in this case we get a single SSID AP.
Laptop or phones act the same and show you a single SSID and not two like we have in ESP.

My question is: Do we need to manually implement logic to choose which SSID to use (based on RSSI? based on previous connected MAC number? other considerations...?), or does the ESP SDK contain a built in solution for this case?

I believe the point is to give programmers flexibility to filter AP by bssid too, which you dont need on PC.

Station config has fields to control how the driver should select the best AP:

Or you can use custom logic and specify the BSSID.
