Hi,
We are trying to use the Murata 1DX module as a Wi-Fi repeater.
Is it possible to configure the CYW4343W to act simultaneously as STA and AP using the 'wl' utility?
If yes - what is the example configuration. I would imagine there will be two interfaces configured - wlan0 and wlan1 - one for the STA and one for the AP.
If this is not the correct way to implement a Wi-Fi repeater with the Murata 1DX module, what is it?
Thanks!

A driver to support this functionality is underdevelopment and it is expected to be available around July time frame.

@michael_1749106 There is a new FMAC driver release from Cypress supports this. Currently this has not been integrated and documented. I am hearing that more wider availability of integrated release and documentation would be available around Q3 timeframe.

Hi
Is there any update on this topic ?
is FMAC now supporting concurrent AP/STA ?
is it WICED supporting this ?
is there a dependency on the radio chip that is used ? or would this feature be only SW dependent ?
Thanks

As this does not appear to be a Murata HW question, I am moving to the General Linux support forum and adding vnak from the Applications team.

hi ,
The question is for WICED not linux.

Which EVK are you leveraging which uses the Murata 1DX under WICED? Future Nebula?
The original question/topic was centered around Linux and the FMAC driver. For a WICED related question, please create a new thread here: WICED Studio Wi-Fi/Combo Forums or here if you are using the Future Nebula EVK: Future Connectivity Solutions

OK, I created this post : https://community.cypress.com/message/158456#158456
We also asked about this feature using FMAC on Linux :
is FMAC now supporting concurrent AP/STA ?
is there a dependency on the radio chip or EVK that is used ? or would this feature be only SW dependent ?

If I'm not mistaken, the name we give this feature is "SoftAP" (SoftAP - Wikipedia)
CYW43XX SoftAP Functionality Application Note (Linux Centric AppNote, the WL commands are documented here: CYW43XX Technical Information - WL Tool for Embedded 802.11 Systems)
I believe there is a limitation of 5 Clients (use the search and you will find several threads on the topic)
Within WICED 5.x, the SofAP apps included (these should still be in SDK 6.x):

Can someone confirm that the FMAC is now supporting concurrent AP/STA ?
I am using a Murata Type 1DX with a CYW4343 chipset.
I cannot find any information on how to have two interfaces in Linux (wlan0 & wlan1)
Thanks.
Update:
For anyone searching, I managed to do AP and STA mode using two interfaces and the following command:
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan1 type managed

Thanks for the tip.
May I ask you which kernel are you using and if you use a particular version of FMAC driver? frkic_1884701

Hello,
Have a look at this post: Re: Issue on Wireless AP & STA mode on BCM43455 . This has a guide document that steps you through the process of setting up concurrent AP/STA modes. Hopefully this can hep you out.
Thanks.
