@jibel, @julia I have a workaround for this in https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2098 . Could you please give this a try?
My suspicion here is that when this happens the two APs have different DHCP servers. The workaround forces a DHCP lease renewal when roaming between APs. However, even if this works in your case, I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. If you have a network sharing SSID between APs (usual case in campus networks, for instance), you usually have just one DHCP server in the whole network. So in cases where the wireless network is properly configured, we would ask for lease renewals unnecessarily when we roam between APs. Note also that Android actually handles the case of having different DHCP servers in the same way, so maybe this solution is not completely insane. I still need to check in the AOSP code if there is some additional check going on before asking for the new IP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478319 Title: Wifi doesn't reconnect to AP if it uses the same SSID than another AP Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: current build number: 68 device name: arale channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en last update: 2015-07-24 08:00:20 version version: 68 version ubuntu: 20150724 version device: 20150709-8965e37 version custom: 20150716-819-8-42 My ISP (Free in France) provides a hotspot service so that customers can use the connection of any other customer using a generic open Wifi connection (for reference http://www.free.fr/assistance/2303.html - in French) The SSID is called 'FreeWifi' on all the boxes but obviously APs are all different since it's customers' DSL routers. When I connect to one of this access point, suspend the phone and resume it in another location where the SSID is available but from a different AP, the phone doesn't connect to this AP and the list of networks in the network-indicator doesn't refresh and still show the list of network from the previous location. I have to forget the network called 'FreeWifi' and reconnect in order to refresh the list and make it work. It's 100% reproducible.
