CC3235S: Connect 5G Hotspot timeout

Part Number: CC3235S


Tool/software:

Hi teams,

I am new in WiFI development using LAUNCHXL-CC3235S with the network terminal demo.

I attempt to connect the Win11 5G Band Hotspot. But it didn't work.

Also it can't scan the hotspot either.

sdk version: simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_7_10_00_13

Could you help me with this?

Thanks!

  • Hi Connor,

    The fact that you cant scan it either makes me think you either have the hotspot hidden or you have 5G disabled in the CC3235SF. Can you scan other 5G networks.

    It could also be disabled and enabled through APIs.

    Best,

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your advice.

    I didn't modify the network terminal demo.

    The SimpleLink Wi-Fi® CC3x20, CC3x3x Network Processor User’s Guide points out the 5G Channels is enable by default.

    For the demo "readme", the setpolicy command suggest that scanning the 5G channel is enable for all channels by default.

    Usage: 
      setpolicy [-help] [-i <Scan interval in Sec>] [-h <hidden scan>]
                [-c <Channel Mask in HEX>] [-r <RSSI threshold>] [-o <Turn scans off>]
                
      -i      Sets scan interval in seconds (default is 10 seconds)
      -h      Scan for hidden AP as well (hidden scan = [YES, NO], default is NO)
      -c      Sets specific scan channels for 2.4Ghz, using HEX base bitmask. (default is `0x1FFF` - all enabled)
      -d      Sets specific scan channels for 5Ghz, using HEX base bitmask (if bit i is set, scan for the channel at index i according to 5Ghz channels bits order which the device support. E.g 36->0001, 40->0010, 44->0100.. etc). (default is `1F7FFFF` - all enabled)
      -r      Sets RSSI threshold for scan in dBm units (range: [-95,0] default: `-95`)
      -o      Turn scans off (YES = scans running in background would stop immediately)
      -help   Show Help regarding the setpolicy command.

    By the way, It can scan other 5G WiFi. So I think the scan configuration is on the right set.

  • Hi Teams.

    I have solved the issue with setting the right Country code.

    Thanks for the support!
