AP and STA using the same IP ?
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2022 4:33 amHi all,
Are the AP and STA WiFi completely independent for each other so can exist on 2 different networks, but using the same ip subnets.
i.e ESP module running AP + STA mode
The AP is 192.168.4.1 and serving X devices on that network
The STA connect to another device (actually also an ESP) which has ip of 192.168.4.1
Its anew requirement and it seems to work, which leads me to believe they are independent, there is no internal routing on the ESP but being from a networking background I have concern in mind about this.
Changing IP would be painful for documentation, users etc.
