Network manager priority

English Network/Internet
#1

Having issues with priority on the Wifi network.
Have 3 networks: 2x 5G, 1x 2.4G, and have priorities set as:
2.4G#1 = 0
5G#1 = 5
5G#2 = 10

On boot, it ALWAYS connects to 2.4G#1, but from my thoughts, should connect to 5G#2.
They all work fine when manually connected.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Set NetworkManager log level to TRACE

mkdir /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
echo "[logging]
level=TRACE" > /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/trace.conf

restart system, provide output of “journalctl -b” (upload to https://susepaste.org/).

Output: https://susepaste.org/30522754

Thanks.

It is drive.google.com and I am blocked access to it currently.

Not sure what happened there!

Well, NetworkManager connects to the AP with the most recent timestamp; this is expected behavior; timestamp trumps autoconnect-priority.

Here e8513c77-b9a0-3c83-b54f-3da5f090fc9b is ‘TheView’.

But, I always connect to TheView_FR after booting, so unless there is some sort of ‘glitch’ when it boots??

May be. You can check timestamps with

nmcli -f name,uuid,timestamp con show
