5. Conclusion of the
Demonstration
ESP8266 has two Wi-Fi operation modes, Station and SoftAP modes. PC can connect to
the ESP8266 in each Wi-Fi mode and test the connectivity by ping test. Both the SoftAP
ping test and the Station ping test can be used when the ESP8266 is configured to be in
Station + SoftAP mode.
The result of ping test depends on the network environment. The demo results of the ping
test in this document are results of open tests in a noisy environment, so the test results are
for reference only. More accurate results can be acquired by carrying out the tests in a
clean Wi-Fi environment.!
