How to connect specifying the BSSID?

How to connect specifying the BSSID?

[Kentaro Yamaguchi]

Dear iwd users and developers,

With mesh, I would like to check whether it is faster to connect
directly to the child device or the parent device.
Therefore, please tell me how to connect using iwd from the client and
specifying the BSSID.

According to the comment made 5 years ago at the link below, there is
no way to connect by specifying the BSSID.
This has been answered, but is the situation still the same?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237074&p=5

I tried the following, but I was unable to connect due to an error.
I know that using wpa_supplicant as the Network Manager backend will
work. However, in that case I would like to use IWD because I have
problems with 6GHz connectivity.

1. Specify iwd as wifi.backend of NetworkManager and restart.
2. nmcli device wifi connect [SSID] password [Password]
3. nmcli connection down [SSID]
4. nmcil connection modify [SSID] wifi.bssid [BSSID]
5. nmcli connection up [SSID]

Yes IWD connections are SSID based and IWD chooses the best BSS based on 
how it ranks.

For testing IWD does have a "developer mode" which lets you connect to 
BSSID's specifically but this mode isn't something meant for 
general/production use. But if you only want to test one vs the other 
you could use it:

# Start IWD in developer mode (-E)
iwd -E
# Scan first (developer mode doesn't autoconnect)
iwctl station wlan0 scan
iwctl debug wlan0 get-networks
iwctl wlan0 connect <bssid>

Thanks,

James

Re: How to connect specifying the BSSID?

[Kentaro Yamaguchi]

Hi James,
Thank you for answering.
I tried it right away, but unfortunately I couldn't connect to the
desired BSSID.
Even if you specify the BSSID, if the same SSID exists, it seems that
the connection will be made according to the RANK.

When I specified the BSSID on the 2GHz side below and connected, it
connected to the BSSID on the 5GHz side.
I tried it 3 times and got the same result all three times.

Could you check the IWD logs as to why? I have a feeling the connection 
to ":7c" just failed so IWD moved onto another BSS?

Re: How to connect specifying the BSSID?

Hi James,

The IWD log is as follows.
I have confirmed that it is possible to connect to the same BSSID
using a combination of nmcli and wpa_suplicant.

Thanks I see whats going on. There is no network profile so iwctl is 
using an agent to ask for the passphrase. Once the passphrase is 
obtained IWD still chooses the "best" BSS to connect to. This is a test 
API after all.

You could drop a network profile into /var/lib/iwd/ then use the debug 
API and it should work.

Thanks,

James

Re: How to connect specifying the BSSID?

[Kentaro Yamaguchi]

Hi James,

Thank you for looking at the log.

After creating the profile, I executed the command and was able to 
connect to the specified BSSID.

The cause was that the profile was being deleted when connecting to a 
different BSSID.

Thanks,

Kentaro Yamaguchi
