ok,  I know your meanings,  please prepare the debugs into three steps:

1. bring up ethernet, bring up AP respectively .

2. bring them together.

3.  try to send the data between the two interfaces.

We have a lot of examples in the release, please study them carefully , thanks..

Hi :

I think you need to :

1.  read the document in the release.

2.  for APSTA,  please have a look where is to start STA,  where is to start AP function.

3.   check the wifi_config_dct.h in the apsta directory .  make sure to understand:

     which setting is for the AP the device will join ?

      Which setting is for the AP setting the device will create ?

Hi ZhengbaoZ_96,

apsta application document in wiced doc ?

you mean apsta application can do the switch STA mode and AP mode,

wifi_config_dct.h

/* This is the soft AP used for device configuration */

/* This is the soft AP available for normal operation */

/* This is the default AP the device will connect to (as a client)*/

APSTA is an application which describe AP/STA running concurrently,  I think you can get a starting by add prints in the application.

then you can get how to start station, how to start AP mode, etc.

Hi ZhengbaoZ_96,

IP static and dynamic setting in the code , I will check the code firstly,

The most important thing at the moment is that I have to find EVB first.(CYW943907AEVAL1F Evaluation Kit or CYW954907AEVAL1F Evaluation Kit)

PS Can you continued open this topic first?

Hello:

     You mean device connected with CPY ssid,  CPY can ping www.google.com ok, right?

You know STA and AP are divided into two parts,     even STA can ping external website , AP side function is not same as STA..

Hi ZhengbaoZ_96,

I want to use AP mode, then run on the CYW943907 or CYW954907 platform,

and then connect to the external device via Ethernet via the RJ45 connector for Ethernet on CYW943907 or CYW954907.
