-====== Wi-Fi STA/AP Mode ======+====== VIM4 Wi-Fi STA/AP Mode ======
  
-===== Introduction =====+How to setup the Wi-Fi working on STA+AP mode at the same time.
  
-This document mainly introduces the STA+AP mode of Wi-Fi. You'll learn how to open a hotspot while connected to the Internet.+Configure ''wlan0'' to ''STA'' mode, and ''wlan1'' to ''AP'' mode.
  
-===== System Configuration ===== 
  
-==== Upgrade System ====+===== Setup Wlan1 as a Hotspot =====
  
-Please make sure you use the latest image, if not please follow [[/products/sbc/common/configurations/upgrade-system|Upgrade The System]] to upgrade your system.+Setup ''wlan1'' as a hotspot.
  
-==== Configuration Instructions ====+==== 2.4 GHz Frequency ====
  
-Configure ''wlan0'' to ''STA'' mode, and ''wlan1'' to ''AP'' mode.+For example, the following commands will create AP configuration named ''Hostspot'' on interface ''wlan1'', with SSID ''khadas_ap_2.4G'', ''2.4GHz'' band, ''channel 1'', ''WPA2-PSK'' security, ''CCMP encryption'' and passphrase ''12345678''.
  
-=== Add Wlan1 Interface === 
  
-```sh +```shell 
-khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo iw phy phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed+sudo nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan1 mode ap con-name Hostspot ssid khadas_ap_2.4G 
 +sudo nmcli con modify Hostspot 802-11-wireless.band bg 
 +sudo nmcli con modify Hostspot 802-11-wireless.channel 1 
 +sudo nmcli con modify Hostspot 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt wpa-psk

 +sudo nmcli con modify Hostspot ipv4.method shared 
 +sudo nmcli con up Hostspot
 ``` ```
  
-Use ''ifconfig'' to check if ''wlan1'' has been added successfully:+==== 5 GHz Frequency ====
  
-```sh +For example, the following commands will create AP configuration named ''Hostspot'' on interface ''wlan1'', with SSID ''khadas_ap_5G'', ''5GHz'' band, ''channel 149'', ''WPA2-PSK'' security, ''CCMP encryption'' and passphrase ''12345678''.
