wpa_supplicant connecting to wrong Access Point

D

I've set up /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with my local Access Point credentials. But ifconfig reports that the wireless interface is connected to some other. The network it is connected to is a 'pay as you go' service instead, and not to the one mentioned in the wpa_supplicant config file.

I've seen this happen on both FreeBSD-10-STABLE-063014 and FreeBSD-11-CURRENT-062314.
Both fresh install to test getting my wifi interface working.

What gives?
 
Could you post the contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/rc.conf? I have had this kind of problem recently but I thought it was maybe related to a new router which has trouble waking up once it goes to sleep (my wild guess), so I'm interested...
 
Thanks for replying.
Actually it was found out that the problem is with the firmware/hardware. So not a wpa_supplicant issue.
 
The band is set to automatic in the router and I’m having the same sporadic connexion issue on a Windows laptop, so it seems to be related to the new router provided by my ISP. It comes and goes, not really a problem.
