Wi-Fi

Introduction

The WiFi libraries provide support for configuring and monitoring the ESP8266 WiFi networking functionality. This includes configuration for:

  • Station mode (aka STA mode or WiFi client mode). ESP8266 connects to an access point.
  • AP mode (aka Soft-AP mode or Access Point mode). Stations connect to the ESP8266.
  • Combined AP-STA mode (ESP8266 is concurrently an access point and a station connected to another access point).
  • Various security modes for the above (WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc.)
  • Scanning for access points (active & passive scanning).
  • Promiscuous mode monitoring of IEEE802.11 WiFi packets.

Application Examples

See wifi directory of ESP8266_RTOS_SDK examples that contains the following applications:

  • Simple application showing how to connect ESP8266 module to an Access Point - template.

Attention
Please Call this API after calling esp_wifi_start()
Attention
WiFi transmiting power is divided to six levels in phy init data. Level0 represents highest transmiting power and level5 represents lowest transmiting power. Packets of different rates are transmitted in different powers according to the configuration in phy init data. This API only sets maximum WiFi transmiting power. If this API is called, the transmiting power of every packet will be less than or equal to the value set by this API. If this API is not called, the value of maximum transmitting power set in phy_init_data.bin or menuconfig (depend on whether to use phy init data in partition or not) will be used. Default value is level0. Values passed in power are mapped to transmit power levels as follows:
  • [82, 127]: level0
  • [78, 81]: level1
  • [74, 77]: level2
  • [68, 73]: level3
  • [64, 67]: level4

2. Default WiFi event mask is WIFI_EVENT_MASK_AP_PROBEREQRECVED.
Attention
3. There may be lots of stations sending probe request data around. Don’t unmask this event unless you need to receive probe request data.
Return

Attention
2. Duration area is invalid for user, it will be filled in SDK.
Attention
3. The rate of sending packet is same as the management packet which is the same as the system rate of sending packets.
Attention

Return
ESP_OK, succeed;
Return
ESP_FAIL, fail.
