I was testing out setting up my own SoftAP with my required SSID and password, as well as using it in Station mode to connect to my wifi AP.
My wifi AP runs on channel 6.
I configured the SoftAP to run on channel 1.
SDK is v1.0.1
What ends up happening, is it connects to my wifi AP on ch6, and the softAP is forced onto ch6 as well. The DHCP server on the softAP stops responding to requests for IP leases.
If I set my softAP to ch6 to match, DHCP server works fine. However, how are you supposed to know the channel in advance if a user sets their own wifi AP to connect to?
What I did was register a callback function for Station Connection Event, which then reinitialised the SoftAP on the correct channel, and DHCP server works ok again.
Might be helpful to know if others are having similar issues?
