Thanks Daniel! Unfortunately, connman changes it automatically back to the
router lower 5Ghz wifi (5240).
Interestingly, the output of "connmand -n -d plugins/wifi.c" changed. It
reports the repeaters 5Ghz wifi, which I manually entered:
connmand[43097]: plugins/wifi.c:get_latest_connections() ssid
726976656e64656c6c freq 5500 modified 1580261980
But it still ends up using 5240 (and changes the settings file back to
5240).
Too bad. I've got a setup with several APs spanning one network and
for me my device roams between the APs. I notice I don't see any of
the 'freq' debug messages. Any chance you could give the iwd plugin a
try? I really don't want to spend more time on wpa_supplicant.
Thanks,
Daniel
