WDI_TLV_START_AP_PARAMETERS (dot11wificxtypes.hpp)
Important
This topic is part of the WiFiCx driver model. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The previous Wi-Fi driver model WDI is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.
WDI_TLV_START_AP_PARAMETERS is a TLV that contains the parameters for OID_WDI_TASK_START_AP.
TLV Type
0xAB
Length
The sum (in bytes) of the sizes of all contained elements.
Values
Type | Description |
---|---|
UINT32 | The beacon period. If non-zero, this parameter specifies the beacon interval. |
UINT32 | The DTIM period. If non-zero, this parameter specifies the number of beacon intervals between transmissions of beacon frames that contain a TIM element with a DTIM Count field that equals zero. This value is transmitted in the DTIM Period field of beacon frames. |
UINT8 | This parameter sets the dot11ExcludeUnencrypted MIB. Valid values are 0 and 1. |
UINT8 | This parameter specifies if the device supports 802.11b speeds. Valid values are 0 (not supported) and 1 (supported). When this value is set to 1, the access point should allow clients using 11b rates to connect to it. |
UINT8 | This parameter specifies whether to allow legacy SoftAP clients to connect. Valid values are 0 (not allowed) and 1 (allowed). |
UINT8 | MustUseSpecifiedChannels. This parameter specifies whether the AP can only be started on the channels specified in OID_WDI_TASK_START_AP task parameters with WDI_TLV_AP_BAND_CHANNEL. Valid values are 0 and 1. If it is set to 1, the AP can only be started from the specified list. If it is not set, the list is meant to be a recommendation of channels that the firmware can pick from, and it may pick another channel if it is not possible to start the AP on any of the specified channels. |
UINT8 | PreferOverStation. This parameter specifies whether the driver should favor the SoftAP link over the STA link and roam the STA connection if needed to improve SoftAP performances. Valid values are 0 and 1. |
