I have a nodeMcu which should receive json object from client via the UDP socket and re-send that json object to another Access Point(soft AP). The nodeMcu act as both AP and STA modes and it successfully got the client data packet but re-send part not working. Are there any solutions for that? (Sorry for my English )

Thanks.

An ESP can work in 3 modes, so it shouldn't be a problem:

STA (station)
• AP (access point)
• STA/AP (station & access point)

Maybe this site can get you going.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.

- Tue Aug 06, 2019 3:16 pm #83379 If you want to use both (which is standard anyway), just set both modes using the command

Code: Select allWiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);

before "WIFI.begin(...)". That'll do the trick. You'll find the necessary configuration on the website "QuickFix" did post.

Thanks for your advice. I figured out the reason. I used same IP range IP addresses for both access point. Then I change the IP range for both access point after that it worked.
