Infrastructure Network

Configure MRF24W as client in an Infrastructure (CFG_WF_INFRASTRUCTURE) network 

In WF_Config.h, to start up as a client in an infrastructure network, define

  • MY_DEFAULT_NETWORK_TYPE as CFG_WF_INFRASTRUCTURE.
  • MY_DEFAULT_SSID_NAME

This SSID will be the AP/router's SSID that you wish to be connected to.

  • MY_DEFAULT_WIFI_SECURITY_MODE

This security mode is the AP/router's wireless security mode. 

 

Infrastructure Network Topology 

Below shows an example of the infrastructure network. 

 

This infrastructure network shows a laptop computer and the MRF24W communicating with each other through a wireless access point (AP) and router. This network can gain access to the internet if the AP/router is connected to a WAN.
