Hi,

I have a setup in which my OpenWRT device has two wireless ifs (1 sta, 1 ap). In my setup I need the AP to have the same ssid as the ssid that the client interface is set to connect to, i.e. the AP broadcasts an ssid of "TEST" but the client also needs to connect to another different AP that also has the ssid "TEST".

Is there anyway I can automatically prevent the client interface from selecting the ap interface that is on the same device. My best idea so far would be to use the iwpriv command to setup an ACL on the ap interface and prevent the client from being allowed to connect in the hope that the client will then try one of the other available aps. I need to test whether this actually works in practice, but in the meantime does anyone know if there is a cleaner alternative?

Thanks

Ben
