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 access point (AP) functions
## wifi.getchannel()
Gets the current WiFi channel.
#### Syntax
`wifi.getchannel()`
#### Parameters
`nil`
#### Returns
- current WiFi channel (primary channel)
- HT20/HT40 information (secondary channel). One of the constants:
- `wifi.HT20 `
- `wifi.HT40_ABOVE`
- `wifi.HT40_BELOW`
## 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.mode()`](#wifimode)
## wifi.mode()
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.mode(mode[, save])`
#### 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` disables the WiFi interface(s). Use `wifi.stop()` to fully shut down the WiFi interface.
- `save` choose whether or not to save wifi mode to flash
- `true` WiFi mode configuration **will** be retained through power cycle. (Default)
- `false` WiFi mode configuration **will not** be retained through power cycle.
#### Returns
current mode after setup
#### Example
```lua
wifi.mode(wifi.STATION)
```
#### See also
[`wifi.getmode()`](#wifigetmode)
[`wifi.stop()`](#wifistop)
## wifi.start()
Starts the WiFi interface(s). On system startup the WiFi interface(s) are
not running. This is to enable users to choose whether to expend the power
necessary for radio comms. A sensor device running on battery might only
want to enable WiFi every 10th boot for example.
#### Syntax
`wifi.start()`
#### Parameters
`nil`
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`wifi.stop()`](#wifistop)
## wifi.stop()
Shuts down the WiFi interface(s).
#### Syntax
`wifi.stop()`
#### Parameters
`nil`
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`wifi.start()`](#wifistart)
# wifi.sta Module
## wifi.sta.config()
Sets the WiFi station configuration.
The WiFi mode must be set to `wifi.STATION` or `wifi.STATIONAP` before this
function can be used.
Note that the earlier auto-connect feature is no longer available due to
being removed in the SDK/IDF. After start-up it is necessary to call
[`wifi.stat.connect()`](#wifistaconnect) manually.
#### Syntax
`wifi.sta.config(station_config, save)`
#### Parameters
- `station_config` table containing configuration data for station
- `ssid` string which is less than 32 bytes.
- `pwd` string which is 8-64 or 0 bytes. Empty string indicates an open WiFi access point.
- `bssid` string that contains the MAC address of the access point (optional)
- You can set BSSID if you have multiple access points with the same SSID.
- Note: if you set BSSID for a specific SSID and would like to configure station to connect to the same SSID only without the BSSID requirement, you MUST first configure to station to a different SSID first, then connect to the desired SSID
- The following formats are valid:
- "DE:C1:A5:51:F1:ED"
- "AC-1D-1C-B1-0B-22"
- "DE AD BE EF 7A C0"
- "AcDc0123c0DE"
- `pmf` an optional setting to control whether Protected Management Frames
are supported and/or required. One of:
- `wifi.sta.PMF_OFF`
- `wifi.sta.PMF_AVAILABLE`
- `wifi.sta.PMF_REQUIRED`.
Defaults to `wifi.sta.PMF_AVAILABLE`. PMF is required when joining to
WPA3-Personal access points.
- `save` Save station configuration to flash.
- `true` configuration **will** be retained through power cycle.
- `false` configuration **will not** be retained through power cycle. (Default)
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
--connect to Access Point (DO NOT save config to flash)
station_cfg={}
station_cfg.ssid="NODE-AABBCC"
station_cfg.pwd="password"
wifi.sta.config(station_cfg)
--connect to Access Point (DO save config to flash)
station_cfg={}
station_cfg.ssid="NODE-AABBCC"
station_cfg.pwd="password"
wifi.sta.config(station_cfg, true)
--connect to Access Point with specific MAC address
station_cfg={}
station_cfg.ssid="NODE-AABBCC"
station_cfg.pwd="password"
station_cfg.bssid="AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF"
wifi.sta.config(station_cfg)
```
#### See also
- [`wifi.sta.connect()`](#wifistaconnect)
- [`wifi.sta.disconnect()`](#wifistadisconnect)
## wifi.sta.connect()
Connects to the configured AP in station mode. You will want to call this
on start-up after [`wifi.start()`](#wifistart), and quite possibly also
in response to `disconnected` events.
#### Syntax
`wifi.sta.connect()`
#### Parameters
`nil`
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
- [`wifi.sta.disconnect()`](#wifistadisconnect)
- [`wifi.sta.config()`](#wifistaconfig)
- [`wifi.sta.on()`](#wifistaon)
## wifi.sta.disconnect()
Disconnects from AP in station mode.
!!! note
Please note that disconnecting from Access Point does not reduce power consumption much.
If power saving is your goal, please use [`wifi.stop()`](#wifisetmode).
#### Syntax
`wifi.sta.disconnect()`
#### Parameters
`nil`
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
- [`wifi.sta.config()`](#wifistaconfig)
- [`wifi.sta.connect()`](#wifistaconnect)
