You can "lock your WiFi connection profile to the BSSID of your access point" by entering your access point's BSSID under "Edit Connections..."

I am curious how to do this using the nm dbus backend, locking to a specific connection path (which includes the BSSID) used to work, but seems to have reverted back to periodically scanning anyway. Not sure why. Sep 27, 2022 at 23:33
