I have two networks both with the same ssid, "bt-wifi" and It's giving me problems as one keeps disconnecting and trying to connect to the other or vice versa, so I need to block one of the bssid's, blocking the ssid won't work because it will block both, anyway to do this?

Hello x34cha,

Overall, I think you may need to provide some additional information: e.g., make and model of routers, access points, etc. that you are using.... The solution may require some configuration change(s).

Why two networks with the same ssid? Not a criticism - just curious about the bigger picture.

Anyway as I understand it, bssids involve MAC addresses. Maybe somewhere within your network devices you may be able to establish the desired block using MAC's. Either a direct block targeting a specific MAC address or limiting access to an allowable list of MAC's.

To be honest I am a bit out of my comfort zone here. However, I think some additional information will facilitate finding any potential solutions. Thanks...
