Hi everybody,

I'm working on a ccandc. I would know if there is a possibility to choose one of the b/g/n mode while programming.

By the way, I'm using the WICED-SDK-3.3.1 version.

And I use a BCM43438 on SoftAP mode.

Thank you all.

Yes. There are APIs for controlling 11n mode ON or OFF and also data rates for 11b/g

These APIs can work in AP mode as well as STA mode

But in general given there is only one radio - if you set a mode for AP it will impact STA as well

Hi, Naren. Thank  you for your quick reply.

I find the APIs from WICED 3.3.1 version. I don't know whether it is correct.

API:

wwd_result_t wwd_wifi_set_legacy_rate( wwd_interface_t interface, int32_t rate)

wwd_result_t wwd_wifi_set_11n_support( wwd_interface_t interface, wiced_11n_support_t value)

These are the correct APIs

Suggest that you move to newer SDK

Hi nsankar

wwd_wifi_set_11n_support API only STA supported.  But my BCM43438 is on SoftAP mode.

The API return a WICED_ERROR on SoftAP mode.

Did you make sure that the WIFI interface is down by calling wiced_wifi_down before using this API?

Also can you use SDK 3.5.2 to verify this?

Hi, Naren. Thank you.

I will try the API on the SDK 3.5.2.
