[Android] Autojoin Wifi

Greetings,

 

Does anyone has made a Wifi for Android with autojoin working ? Because after trying some configuration I didn't manage to make it work properly.

 

Here are the configuration of my Wifi :

 

Sécrurity : Pre Shared key

Encryption : WPA2 Only

Splash page : None

 

And here is the configuration of my Wifi Profile :

With this configuration, my Android phone get the information to connect to the SSID (the password, and it says "save"), but he will not connect automatically. I have to go into settings, select the SSID and click on "Connect" whitout typing the password. But I was thinking that my Android device will automatically swap to the good SSID, instead of having to go in the Wifi settings.

 

Can anyone help me please, maybe I am missing something ?

You are not missing anything in the dashboard.

 

From a very raw perspective, and not taking into account MDM solutions, roamings, etc, joining an SSID is always a client-device decision, APs do not have a mechanism to force any device to join a particular SSID, which would be extremely problematic from a security standpoint.

If your device is not auto joining an SSID, and only does it when you manually select the SSID, I would highly suggest that you reach out to the device vendor for support and to look into Google support forums as this is not something that is configurable in the dashboard.
