Topic: multi wans connected in order of preference

The content of this topic has been archived on 4 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have connected two wifi networks to one Linkit 7688 router. I want to know how to access the Wifi networks in order of preference. When I power up the router, it does not know which to connect to. I need it to connect to only one at a time.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

sheen17861, it is very interesting for me also. The brute solution is to modify startup script (/etc/rc.local) to examine WiFi networks, to modify wifi settings, and to start WiFi itself. Is there more elegant solution?

You're talking about WWANs, right? Travelmate package might be of use. I believe it probes STAs in the order they're defined in config.

The discussion might have continued from here.
