.. _network.WLAN:
class WLAN -- control built-in WiFi interfaces
==============================================
This class provides a driver for WiFi network processors. Example usage::
import network
# enable station interface and connect to WiFi access point
nic = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
nic.active(True)
nic.connect('your-ssid', 'your-password')
# now use sockets as usual
Constructors
------------
.. class:: WLAN(interface_id)
Create a WLAN network interface object. Supported interfaces are
``network.STA_IF`` (station aka client, connects to upstream WiFi access
points) and ``network.AP_IF`` (access point, allows other WiFi clients to
connect). Availability of the methods below depends on interface type.
For example, only STA interface may `WLAN.connect()` to an access point.
Methods
-------
.. method:: WLAN.active([is_active])
Activate ("up") or deactivate ("down") network interface, if boolean
argument is passed. Otherwise, query current state if no argument is
provided. Most other methods require active interface.
.. method:: WLAN.connect(ssid=None, password=None, *, bssid=None)
Connect to the specified wireless network, using the specified password.
If *bssid* is given then the connection will be restricted to the
access-point with that MAC address (the *ssid* must also be specified
in this case).
.. method:: WLAN.disconnect()
Disconnect from the currently connected wireless network.
.. method:: WLAN.scan()
Scan for the available wireless networks.
Hidden networks -- where the SSID is not broadcast -- will also be scanned
if the WLAN interface allows it.
Scanning is only possible on STA interface. Returns list of tuples with
the information about WiFi access points:
(ssid, bssid, channel, RSSI, authmode, hidden)
*bssid* is hardware address of an access point, in binary form, returned as
bytes object. You can use `binascii.hexlify()` to convert it to ASCII form.
There are five values for authmode:
* 0 -- open
* 1 -- WEP
* 2 -- WPA-PSK
* 3 -- WPA2-PSK
* 4 -- WPA/WPA2-PSK
and two for hidden:
* 0 -- visible
* 1 -- hidden
.. method:: WLAN.status([param])
Return the current status of the wireless connection.
When called with no argument the return value describes the network link status.
The possible statuses are defined as constants:
* ``STAT_IDLE`` -- no connection and no activity,
* ``STAT_CONNECTING`` -- connecting in progress,
* ``STAT_WRONG_PASSWORD`` -- failed due to incorrect password,
* ``STAT_NO_AP_FOUND`` -- failed because no access point replied,
* ``STAT_CONNECT_FAIL`` -- failed due to other problems,
* ``STAT_GOT_IP`` -- connection successful.
When called with one argument *param* should be a string naming the status
parameter to retrieve. Supported parameters in WiFI STA mode are: ``'rssi'``.
.. method:: WLAN.isconnected()
In case of STA mode, returns ``True`` if connected to a WiFi access
point and has a valid IP address. In AP mode returns ``True`` when a
station is connected. Returns ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: WLAN.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)])
Get/set IP-level network interface parameters: IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS server. When called with no arguments, this method returns
a 4-tuple with the above information. To set the above values, pass a
4-tuple with the required information. For example::
nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
.. method:: WLAN.config('param')
WLAN.config(param=value, ...)
Get or set general network interface parameters. These methods allow to work
with additional parameters beyond standard IP configuration (as dealt with by
`WLAN.ifconfig()`). These include network-specific and hardware-specific
parameters. For setting parameters, keyword argument syntax should be used,
multiple parameters can be set at once. For querying, parameters name should
be quoted as a string, and only one parameter can be queries at time::
# Set WiFi access point name (formally known as ESSID) and WiFi channel
ap.config(essid='My AP', channel=11)
# Query params one by one
print(ap.config('essid'))
print(ap.config('channel'))
Following are commonly supported parameters (availability of a specific parameter
depends on network technology type, driver, and :term:`MicroPython port`).
