Can't connect to AP while STA is trying to associate

Post by jacob019 » Tue Oct 03, 2017 6:24 pm

v1.9.2, new to MP. I set it up at home and connected the sta_if to my home network. Worked great though both AP and STA interfaces. Took it to the office and tried to connect to sta_ap, connections failed from a dozen different devices. Some devices were able to connect for a few seconds, but were quickly booted. Finally I decided to try setting up a wireless router with the same SSID and credentials as my home network so that I could get in that way. It worked. But once it successfully connected as a client I was able to connect from any device in AP mode. I think sta_if was trying to connect to the non-existent network and those attempts were preventing ap_if from working properly. Is this normal behaviour?
