Tool/software: Linux
Our unit will need to be both an access point and a station at the same time. Currently only one antenna is connected on the WL1831MOD (on pin 32).
I currently am able to configure one access point and one station simultaneously through Linux. However, we may need to have a second access point. From the capabilities of the interface give by iw list. I see that the valid configurations are :
valid interface combinations:
* #{ managed } <= 2, #{ AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
total <= 3, #channels <= 2
* #{ AP } <= 2, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
total <= 2, #channels <= 1, radar detect widths: { 20 MHz (no HT), 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz }
Which indicates I can have either 2 AP or 1AP and 2 station. Not 2 AP and 1 station.
On the schematic I see that there could be a second antenna on pin 18 (currently Not connected).
My question is:
if the second antenna is used will that allow us to have more Access points and Stations. IE a total of 4 station and 2 AP ?
In other words, is the limitation above per chip/driver or per antenna ?
