# Wi-Fi SoftAP & Station Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example demonstrates how to use the ESP Wi-Fi driver to act as both an Access Point and a Station simultaneously using the SoftAP and Station features.
With NAPT enabled on the softAP interface and the station interface set as the default interface this example can be used as Wifi nat router.

## How to use example
### Configure the project

Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`).

In the `Example Configuration` menu:

* Set the Wi-Fi SoftAP configuration.
    * Set `WiFi AP SSID`.
    * Set `WiFi AP Password`.

* Set the Wi-Fi STA configuration.
    * Set `WiFi Remote AP SSID`.
    * Set `WiFi Remote AP Password`.

Optional: If necessary, modify the other choices to suit your needs.

### Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run the monitor tool to view the serial output:

Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)

## Example Output

There is the console output for this example:
