Select the frequency band (2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz) is a prerequisite for selecting the channel. Channel selection is useful primarily as follow: - Restrict to a particular access point when multiple access points use the same SSID (AP name) but are available on different frequencies. - Configure for a particular ad-hoc mesh network. - Setup multiple access points from a single FreedomBox on multiple channels to maximize the throughput and number of simultaneous clients. Ability to specify a particular BSSID will help associate with a particular access point when multiple access points use the same SSID (AP name). This is also makes it slightly harder to trick clients into connection to a malicious device. Also configuring BATMAN-adv seems to require setting a particular BSSID.
Plinth
Plinth - a web front end for administering FreedomBox
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
Plinth is a web interface to administer the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking from Plinth. Plinth also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about Plinth on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
