Meshed Wifi compatibility
Hi there,
i'm running an AVM meshed Wifi and am experiencing some issues where my ebus Adapter Shield V5 likes to not pick the AP with the strongest signal after booting.
As far as I understand the firmware should already be able to pick the strongest AP and not the first one it finds for a given SSID. Since i operate a small army of ESPs this phenomenon isn't something new to me and i suspect an issue in the esp-idf code or an incompatibility with AVM meshes.
However i found that ESPs that have 802.11k and 802.11v enabled usually behave better and will eventually migrate to the proper AP. I don't know though if the ESP SKU on the ebus Adapter Shield supports this.
If you would like to have a look, here's a contribution I made to a different ESP32 based project https://github.com/meatpiHQ/wican-fw/pull/76/commits/f2e03749dfa95a67d6b29125fdda6f264bcb16b7
Sidenote: Thank you for this piece of hardware. It's the only alternative to the overpriced Wolf ISM (currently unobtanium) and was really easy to integrate.
