Maximum station connections in soft AP.

[carbureter]

I have a question about the maximum station connections in soft AP.
The document shows that, there is a limit of maximum sta connections to a soft AP which is only 4.
Is there any way we can allow more sta connections? we really need more sta connections in our product, maybe 10 sta connections.
can we realize this by modifing the sdk files?
many thanks.

Hi,

Maybe you could try our mesh in esp_iot_sdk_v1.4.0.

Download documentation about mesh.

@carbueter, did you find a solution for this?

Hi,

The maximum station connections in softAP is 4, but mesh support multi-hops communication,
So, one mesh supports up to 83 nodes. I think it is enough for you.

We have released mesh demo on github, please clone current code:

And we released the mesh API document on github:
