Re: Does station<->station communication get forwarded over the AP? [WIFI-2280]

Thanks for the reply, that's unfortunate. I really like the ESP32 board's ability to directly output CSI via the associated callback function, however, right now it's not very practical to use. The only way to measure CSI between multiple ESP32 boards is by sending packets via UDP or TCP (the esp_wi...

Re: Does station<->station communication get forwarded over the AP?

Hi,

I'm using another ESP32 board as an AP. Do you know if there's an API addressing this issue, e.g. a switch to turn station<->station communication on/off?

Thanks in advance.

Does station<->station communication get forwarded over the AP? [WIFI-2280]

Heya! I have a mesh of 3-4 boards - one working as an AP, the other ones as stations connected to that AP. For some reason, communication between stations is much slower than communication between station and AP, so I was thinking that maybe all station<->station communication gets forwarded over th...

esp-idf: Assign specific IPs?

Hi! I have one ESP32 board working as an Access Point, several others as stations connecting to this AP. Is there a way to assign them specific IPs? E.g., I have a list of MACs from the stations and whenever a specific board joins the WiFi, I'd like to assign it an IP corresponding to its index in t...

[WiFi] Always pick the max tx power

Heya!

So I know about esp_wifi_set_max_tx_power. Is there any way to ensure that always exactly the maximum value gets chosen, instead of some value equal or smaller?

Greetings and thanks in advance.

Re: Station isn't recognizing channel switches or able to do them themself

Morning! *small push to the front page

Any idea? Is this a feature, a bug or am I just doing something wrong about switching channels?

Re: Station isn't recognizing channel switches or able to do them themself

PS: It turns out that it seems to be the AP's fault. For some reason its SSID is hidden after switching to a channel other than 1. Is this intended? Can I change that? I just want to iterate through some channels while both boards stay in the same WiFi ideally.

Station isn't recognizing channel switches or able to do them themself

Morning! So I have two boards, connected via WiFi (one AP, one STA). When I change channel on the AP via esp_wifi_set_channel, the Station seems to not get any Channel Switch Announcement, instead it effortlessly tries to reconnect to the AP (on the old channel I guess). I tried to send some CSA by ...

Can't dynamically choose SSID, "missing braces"

Morning! I have some problems setting up the SSID config for my WiFi. It works flawlessly with the STA/AP example by using #define, e.g.: wifi_config_t wifi_config = { .sta = { .ssid = EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_SSID, .password = EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_PASS }, }; but when I have some dynamically generated string an...

Sending data from board to laptop over WiFi

Morning! I'm new to networking stuff and this time it seems like I'm not good at googling it, so maybe you can help: I have two ESP32 boards - one is a WiFi AP, the other one is connected to it. Both are connected via UDP, one generates data, sends it to the other one and there it gets saved in a fi...
