LSR TIWI-R2 dual mode

Hi, I am l looking at using the LSR TIWI-R2 with AM335X Chip set.  My issue is that this will be a headless device and I would like to start the board in WLAN router configuration and have it create an ad-hoc network so a mobile device can see it and join it.  Once the mobile device is joined, it would then configure the board to connect to a secure WLAN already existing.  Once the configurations are in the board, it will reset and join the secure WLAN you told it to.   I would like to know if this is possible, if so, are there any samples of this in place today?

Any Help will be appreciated!

    Hi John,

    Security in WLAN is normally handled by WPA supplicant which also uses openSSL for the connection and 4 way handshake session (Authentication based on predefined key) and broadcast periodic  Key exchange , and then the encryption and decryption of the data is done in Hardware inside the WL127x chip.

    And according to the standard Ad hoc mode does not support Security, actually it does support WEP by default however not WPA or WPA2. As for your specific idea I am not aware of such implementation.

    However why do you want to use ad hoc? The AM335x can act as a softAP (Access Point) and all other headsets which are WLAN stations can connect to it with secured mode.
