Hello!
I need to check with a script if a client is connected to the correct AP. Actually I have a connect-list populated with a few access-points in order of importance: first entry is the ideal AP, second entry is a backup and so on.
I am trying to write a script that disconnects the wireless interface every <n> minutes if it's not connected to the best AP.

I am using "area-prefix" to identify the APs, however I don't find any place where I can check on which wireless "area" I am connected to. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Is like the script must be on CPE side?

I check 5.26 and I not find any way to read by script "area"

Now I check 6.16rc2

Is like the script must be on CPE side?

Yes, it should be done on the CPE side.

I wanted to periodically run a script which checks if the client is connected to the AP specified in the first connect-list entry, and if not, disconnects itself in order to try to associate to the best AP (useful for fixed links).

Unfortunately the only detail available is the mac-address, but it's problematic because if for any reason an AP is replaced (damage, hw upgrade...) all clients need to be reconfigured. By using the area info, the AP can be replaced because the "role" is represented by the "area" label.

Really you can change and mantain MAC address between each replace....

Of course, everything can be done... but using the "area" information it doesn't require any maintenance at all!
