Hi
How can i establish wireless communication between microcontroller and Laptop.
For microcontroller i have an access point and for laptop i have a builtin
card.
I have configures AP as Access point and i am able to communicate with AP
(ie when i type IP address of AP i get a configuration menu). But how can i
transfer data from microcontroller to laptop using AccessPoint.
Thanks
Bye
The microcontroller will have to have the wireless TCP/IP protocols/wireless drivers and hardware to be conversant with an AP.
Typically that is an additional piece of hardware that handshakes between the controller and the wireless device.

The microcontroller has TCP Server and has an ethernet interface as well.
It also has RTOS.
I don't know ehich mode should i choose for wireless communication
The Modes Available to me are (from my AP)
1) AP
2) Station adhoc
3) AP Client
4) AP bridge Poin to Point
5) AP bridge point to multi point
6) AP bridge WDS
7) Universal Repeater
What i figure out is that i think i can use
1) AP Bridge point to point but i think i need one more bridge for my Laptop
2) AP bridge WDS, then i can connect to the bridge that is connected to my board.
3) Station Adhoc , not sure abou that
Am i right about the 3 things that i mentioned
If you are using the AP as an intermediary between the notebook and microcontroller then you need a client wireless device for the notebook as well as the microcontroller.
If you can use the AP as a client device (most can) then you still need a client device for the computer.
