Hi,
I see that since my original question things have moved forward, even beyond my ability to understand. I'm just a very enthusiastic user of Tim's work.
I will try to explain in more detail the reason for my request.
I use a WiFi signal from an AVM-Fritz! 1260E which is in the center of my house. I had the need to buy a repeater, an AVM-Fritz! 1200AX, to increase the signal strength in some more distant points (especially for my TV and some IPCams). The Raspberry Pi4 (with MoOde) is much closer to the repeater.
The repeater has automatically joined the pre-existing network, and acquired the same SSID and same password.
When MoOde, after the scan, lets me choose the SSID to connect to, I see two SSIDs (same name) at 2.4Mgz and two other SSIDs (same name) at 5Mgz.
Basically, I see two pairs of SSIDs with the exact same name, so since there is no signal strength indicator next to the SSID name, I could actually choose the one with the weakest signal as well.
The point is that all the devices I have at home, smartphones, tablets, IPCams… also see two pairs of SSIDs, but they automatically switch to the strongest signal source, or in any case indicate the strength of each SSID.
I seem to have understood that it is a "heavy" feature to do (maybe it's only useful for me
), so, it doesn't matter, I'll manage...
…and sorry for my english…
