# WiFi Module
The NodeMCU WiFi control is spread across several tables:

- `wifi` for overall WiFi configuration
- [`wifi.sta`](#wifista-module) for station mode functions
- [`wifi.ap`](#wifiap-module) for wireless access point (WAP or simply AP) functions
- [`wifi.ap.dhcp`](#wifiapdhcp-module) for DHCP server control

## wifi.getchannel()

Gets the current WiFi channel.

#### Syntax
`wifi.getchannel()`

#### Parameters
`nil`

#### Returns
current WiFi channel

#### Example
```lua
print(wifi.getchannel())
```

## wifi.getmode()

Gets WiFi operation mode.

#### Syntax
`wifi.getmode()`

#### Parameters
`nil`

#### Returns
The WiFi mode, as one of the `wifi.STATION`, `wifi.SOFTAP`, `wifi.STATIONAP` or `wifi.NULLMODE` constants.

#### See also
[`wifi.setmode()`](#wifisetmode)

## wifi.getphymode()

Gets WiFi physical mode.

#### Syntax
`wifi.getpymode()`

#### Parameters
none

#### Returns
The current physical mode as one of `wifi.PHYMODE_B`, `wifi.PHYMODE_G` or `wifi.PHYMODE_N`.

#### See also
[`wifi.setphymode()`](#wifisetphymode)

## wifi.setmode()

Configures the WiFi mode to use. NodeMCU can run in one of four WiFi modes:

- Station mode, where the NodeMCU device joins an existing network
- Access point (AP) mode, where it creates its own network that others can join
- Station + AP mode, where it both creates its own network while at the same time being joined to another existing network
- WiFi off

When using the combined Station + AP mode, the same channel will be used for both networks as the radio can only listen on a single channel.

#### Syntax
`wifi.setmode(mode)`

#### Parameters
`mode` value should be one of

- `wifi.STATION` for when the device is connected to a WiFi router. This is often done to give the device access to the Internet.
- `wifi.SOFTAP` for when the device is acting *only* as an access point. This will allow you to see the device in the list of WiFi networks (unless you hide the SSID, of course). In this mode your computer can connect to the device, creating a local area network. Unless you change the value, the NodeMCU device will be given a local IP address of 192.168.4.1 and assign your computer the next available IP address, such as 192.168.4.2.
- `wifi.STATIONAP` is the combination of `wifi.STATION` and `wifi.SOFTAP`. It allows you to create a local WiFi connection *and* connect to another WiFi router.
- `wifi.NULLMODE` to switch off WiFi

#### Returns
current mode after setup

#### Example
```lua
wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
```

#### See also
[`wifi.getmode()`](#wifigetmode)
