Is it possible to configure WiFi to only connect to weak clients?
Normal question is the other way around, but I have in one location a normal omni-directional antenna for local connections, and one directional antenna that covers a wide range in one direction.
I would like all local closeby traffic on one radio/freqency, so the other antenna can focus on the long range (and lower speed) clients, without loosing airtime and cpu on the closeby clients.
I read all options in the /etc/wireless explanation, but we only seem to be able to set cell density or minimum rates for the normal (and thus opposite) use case.
Yes, that's what I meant. Local traffic to one radio/AP (with the omni antenna) and the far away field with the other radio/AP (and the beam antenna)
I do not want the AP with the beam antenna bother itself with local devices simply because they are strong enough, they can be, and ideally should be, handled by the AP with the omni antenna.
This is the same thing as band steering, but with two channels in the same band. Any client that has been heard with a strong signal on the local AP should be forced to connect there by refusing it connections on the beam AP.
