The Station sample demonstrates how to connect the Wi-Fi station to a specified access point using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Requirements

The sample supports the following development kit:

.. table-from-sample-yaml::

Overview

This sample can perform Wi-Fi operations such as connect and disconnect in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands depending on the capabilities of an access point.

Using this sample, the development kit can connect to the specified access point in :abbr:`STA (Station)` mode.

Building and running

Currently, the following board(s) are supported:

• nRF7002 DK

You must configure the following Wi-Fi credentials in prj.conf:

• Network name (SSID)
• Key management
• Password

Note

You can also use menuconfig to enable Key management option.

See :ref:`zephyr:menuconfig` in the Zephyr documentation for instructions on how to run menuconfig.

To build for the nRF7002 DK, use the nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp build target. The following is an example of the CLI command:

west build -b nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp
