- Tue May 17, 2022 2:44 am #94543 Is it possible to use WIFI_AP_STA mode when the network SSID and password are unknown? The idea is to request the SSID and password with a web form using an AP connection and save them in EEPROM, then connect to the network for the real application, which requires the network. All the examples I have seen of using WIFI_AP_STA mode have the SSID and password hard coded in the program and always connect to the network before going into AP mode.
