- Sat May 07, 2016 10:28 am #47056 As I've posted yet, ESP Basic 2.0.Alpha 23 creates an AP though it's set into station mode.

Module: ESP8266MOD (4 MB Flash).

The ESP Basic reports that while booting (APName & APPass is empty)

It is ESP and it is an open connection by default.
It is best practice to secure your AP by default with a username and a password.

Read the beginners guide for some more info on this and some issues you can run into by leaving your connection open are kinda as follows if your devices are set to connect to open networks automatically it may cause conflict when using your device in station mode as well so many reasons to protect your AP mode.

It is important to leave this mode enabled though in case your device were to become unreachable by other means.

- Mon May 23, 2016 11:46 pm #47912 Using the wifioff command and then just starting station mode I believe it may be possible or at least this is my understanding, while I have yet to use the feature yet until I get my code working for selecting a connection and connecting to it then running code. A bit complex but so many other things to do right now hopefully memorial day weekend will provide me with enough free time to go at the esp8266 and try a few things but in the mean time look into wifioff and its uses.

Enjoy,
