Re: How select the access point manually in a wireless network?

It doesn't works

I try this in a place when I have signal of booth access points

I attached the the console screen:

(when I'm in the first floor)

[root@rocha-ar /]# iwconfig eth1

eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"TCORP" Nickname:""

Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: 00:3A:99:0C:27:30

Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm

Power Managementmode:All packets received

Link Quality=3/5 Signal level=-69 dBm Noise level=-82 dBm

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:42 Rx invalid frag:0

Tx excessive retries:71 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

(in the second)

[root@rocha-ar /]# iwconfig eth1

eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"TCORP" Nickname:""

(and I try this in the middle)

[root@rocha-ar /]# iwconfig eth1 ap 00:3A:99:0C:27:30

[root@rocha-ar /]# iwconfig eth1

eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"TCORP" Nickname:""

The access point doesn't change

man iwconfig

iwconfig <interface> ap <address of access point>
