Connect to Wi-Fi AP based on mac address?

I wonder if there is a way to make a wifi adapter connect to an access
point but based on its mac address instead of SSID?.

The situation I have is that thereĀ“s two APs with the same SSID but
diferent signal strengts, both open, no encryption, and using
different back end providers.

I do not control the APs, I just want to connect to the farther one,
which I receive with 30% signal quality, instead of the closer one,
with 90% signal.

I run F16 and the adapter is a USB cantenna.

TIA
