Remembering BSSID

Hiroshi_Y — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 10:21:11 GMT

When connecting to a wireless access point (AP), the load was high and the response was poor, so I intentionally switched to using the SIM card to maintain a stable connection. After that, when I connected to Wi-Fi again, it automatically connected to the closest wireless AP.

<Question>
Is it true for the device (Windows) to remember the previously connected BSSID and continue using it? I contacted Microsoft, and they mentioned that it depends on the driver of the wireless adapter.
Please tell me how to clear or configure BSSID.

OS:Windows 10 Pro
OS:Version 21H2
OS:Build 19044.2965
Processor:11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1145G7 @ 2.60GHz

Best regards.

Hello Hiroshi_Y,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I am sorry to know that you are having issues with your wireless adapter.

In order to better assist you, please provide the following:

1. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed on your computer or did you change/install the adapter to this one?

2. Is the Bluetooth working?

3. Is this a laptop or desktop computer?

4. What is the brand and model name of your wireless adapter?

5. To confirm, is the adapter connecting to the wrong AP? Or, is it not supposed to connect to any AP?

Regards,

Deivid A.

Hello, Deivid A,

My explanation was bad.
It's not the wrong AP, there are several same name APs that don't allow for a seamless connection.

So, I couldn't forget the wrong Wi-Fi.

Best regards,
Hiroshi.
