WiFi connection by BSSID #2151

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. WLED tends to connect to the incorrect AP in mesh networks (multiple APs with the same credentials)

Describe the solution you'd like Allow optionally specifying a WiFi BSSID (AP mac address - 6 bytes in format 01:23:45:67:89:AB). WLED will only connect to that BSSID. WiFi.begin() accepts the BSSID as an optional parameter.

Describe alternatives you've considered Mesh systems might have configuration options to deal with this, but that depends on the manufacturer.

This would be a great addition. For a specific WLED, I have a far-away AP on channel 1, while the one in the same room as the WLED, on channel 6, never gets chosen. Forcing a roam, just causes the WLED to disconnect from WiFi and never come back.

I have the same issue as @Wireheadbe. Would be nice to be able to choose the BSSID.

I may add such feature into multiwifi branch. But no promises made.
