Hi Guys,

Is there any example or document describing how to gracefully use either WiFi or Ethernet connection to send or receive data?

Thanks,

Hello Abhishek,

So, Do you need help to send data only one specific interface like Wi-Fi or EThernet? or both together like if Wi-Fi is not connected then send data through Ethernet if connected and vice versa?

Which ESP32 IDF are you using? Because i belive there are few examples available to send data through Wi-Fi or EThernet with good explanation as well.

Hi Espressif System Developers,

I have to develop a device that is a Modbus TCP Server on ethernet but which also implements a WebServer on WiFi.
Is it possible to have an ethernet port and a wifi that can work simultaneously?

Thank you

Hello,

Yes, you can use both together as per requirements.

There will be some delay or interference you will face while using both Wi-Fi and Ethernet together because Wireless Radio and Ethernet Hardware is common, but network stack and buffer is common which i believe so that you need to have good synchronization while using it.
