After you scanned and added the wifi with diepi-config >> 7 : Network Options: Adapters >> WIFI you can edit your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and add there a line like bssid=01:23:45:67:89:ab:

network={
        ssid="network_name"
        scan_ssid=1
        bssid=01:23:45:67:89:ab
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk=3bfa1490a330fbf2b9d74bdfecca582d3f5e948e155332f399b134879fb9d3de
}
