I have many AP with same SSID, how can I lock connection on my macbook pro, to the AP with a specific MAC address?
I find this bat in el capitan it is not work.
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resource s/airport --associate=XXX --bssid=YYY
Where XXX is the SSID/network name and YYY the MAC address of the base station you want to talk to.
SSID is a broadcast name from a wi-fi. It is a bad practice for multiple wi-fi networks to share the same SSID if they are closely distributed.
your wi-fi's interface would be the place to look for a MAC filter to allow (or prevent) a device with a specific MAC address to connect (or deny a connection)
consult the manufacturers website or routers documentation for further details.
It is wireless network in a large hotel, where I live now. nearby router works bad, I do not want setup network, I just want using the command line airport tool lock connection to the AP by MAC address.
like this, bat in el capitan it is not work -
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resource s/airport --associate=XXX --bssid=YYY
Where XXX is the SSID/network name and YYY the MAC address of the base station you want to talk to.
Same SSID different MAC address
