This post on the Espressif BBS forums warns people against using the dual mode configuration.
My goal was to make a webpage on the ESP8266 that a user could access, select an access point from a list and give the ESP the password to connect to it. However after reading that post I am doubtful whether I can do such a thing.
If anyone has tried a similar thing please let me know your methodology.
