I'm wondering how this functions works,
this function is supposed to get the mac address of the router,

but someone remind me that a router might have more than 1 mac address,
for instance for 5Ghz and for 2.4Ghz,

how would this work with BSSIDstr() when running simultaneously both frequencies?
could you get different mac addresses?


thanks

Since the ESP is 2.4GHz only, it would mean you'll get the one of the 2.4GHz interface.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
