      When I use Wireless WAN in Infrastructure (BSS mode), sometimes it changed from the closest AP to a distant AP after restart. I have to enter the shell and change its BSSID manually.

      Therefore, BSS mode, which makes unstable AP selection, is practically unavailable not only for me but also for people who want to configure their Wireless WAN as a secondary connection.

      This problem is necessary, but it's also something that hasn't been fixed for a very long time: Force wireless WAN to connect to specific BSSID

      I fixed the source for this issue and created the ability to specify the BSSID. Can I create PR in Redmine?
