MKR1000 wifi.status() not updating in AP mode about wifi101 HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @zeesh1979,

Thanks for bringing this up. In AP mode WiFi.status() currently always returns WL_CONNECTED. I think we need to add another state to the wl_status_t enum. Let me think about this and come back with a proposal.

Thanks dear. I also checked in client mode where mkr1000 is connecting as client to my android phone which is acting as hotspot. I get same behavior

since yesterday i was working on this and tried some way out. just now i solved my problem and thought to share with you and public.
Accidentally, I noticed that RSSI value changes with WiFi status. if wifi is connected then RSSI is around -100dbm and in connected state it is -40dbm. so i put a threshold of -60dbm for testing purpose and it solved 1st issue :)
for 2nd issue, it is solved too and i am able to detect client connectivity as well :)
below is the code. this may help you enhance the wifi101 library as well.

void loop() {
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (WiFi.RSSI() >= -60){ //WiFi is connected or within range
if (client) { //server ready
if (client.connected()) { //client connected
if (client.available()) { //client sent data
Serial.print("data: ");
Serial.println(client.read());
delay(1000);
}
}
}
else if (!client){ //server not ready
Serial.println("waiting for client...");
client.stop();
}
}
else if (WiFi.RSSI() <= -60){ //WiFi is disconnected or out of range
Serial.println("waiting for WiFi...");
client.stop();
server.begin();
}
}

Hi @zeesh1979,

I've submitted pull request #85 for a nicer way to use WiFi.status() to determine if a device is connected or disconnected to the AP. The new return values are:

• WL_AP_LISTENING: AP is listening, no devices connected
• WL_AP_CONNECTED: a device is connected to the AP

Please see the following sketch for a full example of sketch of intended usage: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/WiFi101/blob/ap-status/examples/AP_SimpleWebServer/AP_SimpleWebServer.ino

good job dude :)
i will check and share if any issues

Hi,I replaced my complete folder of wifi101 with your updated one. when i run the AP example, it says : Not used: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\WiFi101exit status 1'WL_AP_LISTENING' was not declared in this scope
i checked my .cpp and .h files and definitions are ok. i thought there is conflict with another library WIFI which i deleted but still same issue (restarted IDE many times)
