Interestingly, I'm searching for that same information. There is a statement in the ESP8266wIfI library here https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... fi-library
(WiFi.mode(m): set mode to WIFI_AP, WIFI_STA, WIFI_AP_STA or WIFI_OFF. )
But I haven't been able to figure out the syntax. I've put it in my sketch several ways and get the same error ("WIFI" does not name a type) . I've done this using the lua version under NodeMCU successfully, but not using the Arduino IDE.

Look into Examples in Your Arduino IDE. There is one called WiFiAccessPoint in ESP8266WiFi section...

Thanks Pablo, I got it to work using " Wifi.mode(WIFI_STA) ". I think I was putting it in the wrong location in the sketch..
