ESP32-C6 – Maximum number of stations in soft-AP mode?

[ahlamhashim]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the ESP32-C6 and I'd like to know what the maximum number of devices (stations) that can connect to it when it's configured in soft-AP mode.

Thank you.

max_connection
The max number of stations allowed to connect in, the default value is 10. ESP Wi-Fi supports up to 15 (ESP_WIFI_MAX_CONN_NUM) Wi-Fi connections.

Code: Select all

$ grep -rn "ESP_WIFI_MAX_CONN_NUM" *
esp_wifi/include/esp_wifi_ap_get_sta_list.h:16:#ifndef ESP_WIFI_MAX_CONN_NUM
esp_wifi/include/esp_wifi_ap_get_sta_list.h:21:#define ESP_WIFI_MAX_CONN_NUM  (15)

Please note that soft-AP and ESP-NOW share the same encryption hardware keys, so the max_connection parameter will be affected by CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_ESPNOW_MAX_ENCRYPT_NUM.
