Windows 10: Can Windows 10 connect to specific bssid

I have 4 Access points and need to connect to and specific one at a time, though pass the bssid to connect the specific one. With Linux that is easy but with Windows 10 an not really sure is even possible, i saw a manual procedure to connect:

but even when it allows me to set the mac-address of the bssid and the end it does not reconnect or just stays connected to the previous bssid

Connect to specific BSSID with Windows 10 WiFi

I have identified a potential rogue access point at the hotel I'm currently staying at. The signal is stronger than the hotel's access points at most locations, but it's very likely a hacker trying to redirect DNS and phish information from unsuspecting
users. How to I specify the BSSID I want to connect to in Windows 10? I can't afford to let the PC chose since the rogue point has a stronger signal.

 

How to prevent computer connecting to weak BSSIDs

The Issue

Recently, my computer has taken to connecting to weak APs on the network. Starting earlier this week, I noticed a significant drop in network quality (From 40 Mbps to 4 Mbps tested using speed test sites).

My investigation revealed that the computer is connecting to what appears to be weak BSSIDs within the SSID group. I suspect that these BSSIDs belong to routers on the floors above and below me. Running wlan show interface in netsh reveals that Windows detects these weak BSSIDs have a quality of 99%. Because of this high quality, Windows priorities these BSSIDs. However, the quality of the signal immediately drops to ~60% as soon as there is traffic on the connection.

Due to these circumstances, I have several questions:

1. Why does Windows give the weak BSSIDs a high quality?
   
2. What could have changed to cause this issue (as it was working fine before)?
   
3. What are possible solutions to ensure I connect to the actual "best" BSSID (ideally fixing the fact that Windows rates the weak APs highly)?
   

Other Details

• The computer uses Intel's Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 adapter (Which has up to date drivers)
  
• No updates/new software packages were installed when this issue began.
  
• I assume my other devices (Phone and Tablet) pick the right BSSID every time, since they show ~40Mbps.
  
• I have tried using Intel's connection tools to pin the BSSID to one which I know performs well, however it does not seem to work.
  
• I have tried increasing the roaming aggressiveness of the wireless driver, but this yielded similar results.
