AP Channel Switch (Channel Switch Announcement - CSA)

[Shanee]

Hello. When in soft AP + station mode, switching channel seems to disconnect clients.

When looking in Wireshark it doesn't look like a channel switch announcement is sent and I'm wondering if this is the issue? Has anyone encountered the same issue? If so, do you have a solution? (For example, can this packet be sent manually?)

The reason I'm doing this is that the user connects to the soft AP and then configures the SSID and password to use in future. When the ESP32 tests the WiFi details to see if they work a channel switch is needed. Is there an alternative solution to this problem? For example, can I send a packet to say "do not disconnect from the AP, but I'll be no longer be sending beacons for 10 seconds".

Thanks.
