Support for broadcasting multiple SSID on WL1273

Bibin C. Joseph

Hi,

We are doing a mesh based project using WL1273 wifi module. Can anybody please confirm whether this module will support multiple ssid on AP. We tried to implement it and its always broadcasting single ssid only.
Is it required to change any firmware for this? We are using wl127x-fw-5-mr.bin and compat wireless driver. This is very urgent for us. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bibin

Thanks Gigi!

Could you please confirm whether hidden ssid is supported in wl1273. If its supported we can make one ssid hidden and can broadcast other ssid. Could you please confirm whether this scenario is possible/not?

Best Regards

Hi Feroz,

I don't understand - mSSID is NOT available on wl12xx.

For the complete feature list of wl12xx release, please visit: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Wireless_Connectivity_release_notes_AMSDK05.07.00.00
