It will always choose the best available based on signal strength etc.</P><P>The only way you can achieve the same outcome would be to place your music streamer on a different SSID and have that broadcast only from the AP's you want it to connect to.</P><P>That said, it more of a workaround than fixing the underlying issue. You might need to look into interference or tuning radio settings if it's connecting to a sub-optimal AP.</P> Thu, 19 May 2022 10:32:20 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/forcing-to-connect-to-a-specific-ap/m-p/5527700#M310830 Brash 2022-05-19T10:32:20Z
