LWIP listening socket breaks when attempting to connect to WiFi access point

[Ritesh]

I just want to clarify that are you facing issue every time while commissioning WiFi credentials means LWIP listening socket is going to break when attempting to connect to WiFi access point?

No, it doesn't happen every single time, but in about 90% of cases. So it very rarely works as intended.

Also, Just FYI, There might be chances to drop messages when you are trying to do communication into both AP and STA mode at a time because WiFi Radio is common for both STA and AP Interface.

Sure, I've been thinking about this as well. But is it really possible that establishing a new connection in STA mode completely stalls the AP interface for such a long time?

No, It won't disconnect for such a long duration while connecting to new AP connection but it might happened that your device won't find AP then it will keep searching for AP with all possible channel then at that time there might be chances loosing device AP connection with that duration.
