My esp-8266 is running in softap + station mode. I am trying sleep mode for soft AP and disconnect all the stations/clients connected to this AP.

1. Which sleep (modem sleep/light sleep/deep sleep) should be effective in my case. (as doc is not clear about this). I tried modem sleep but that doesn't seems to work with softAP mode.

2. what is the difference between "WiFi.disconnect()" and "WiFi.mode(WIFI_OFF)". Are these two work the same way and switch off the Wifi.

thanks,
Rupak

WiFi.disconnect() will disconnect you from an access point but not turn off the WiFi.
