softap channel selection

[maxzen]

I modified this example to change the wifi channel (I am using it to connect two pc with esp as ap/eth bridge)

Code: Select all

static void initialise_wifi(void)
{
    wifi_init_config_t cfg = WIFI_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_init_internal(&cfg));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_storage(WIFI_STORAGE_RAM));
#ifdef CONFIG_ETH_TO_STATION_MODE
    wifi_config_t wifi_config = {
        .sta = {
            .ssid = CONFIG_DEMO_SSID,
            .password = CONFIG_DEMO_PASSWORD,
       },
    };
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_STA));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(ESP_IF_WIFI_STA, &wifi_config));
#else
    wifi_config_t wifi_config = {
        .ap = {
            .ssid = CONFIG_DEMO_SSID,
            .password = CONFIG_DEMO_PASSWORD,
            .ssid_len = strlen(CONFIG_DEMO_SSID),
            .max_connection = 1,
           .channel = 9,			<<<<<<<<<<< ADDED <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        },
    };
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_AP));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(ESP_IF_WIFI_AP, &wifi_config));
#endif
}

Without the channel selection, I get about 3 ms of ping between the two pc and iperf to 30 Mbit/s

With the channel selection ping takes a lot longer and iperf does not work

Looking at here, 9 should be valid: it is channel 11 in 802.11n figure (the wifi dongle says 9/13, as explained by that page)

What is the correct code to select the channel?
