Accessing Internet through Cellular Hotspot Mode
The WE866Cx module operates in AP mode. The internet connectivity for the Wi-Fi module
is provided via cellular modem.
The Host MCU uses the AT commands to access the internet through the cellular
connection, whereas an external STA can connect to an AP.
Routing function for the Wi-Fi module is provided by the Linux OS and is orthogonal to the
data AT commands.
Figure 6-1 Accessing Internet through Cellular Modem
The following example demonstrates how to access the internet through cellular AT
commands:
Step 1:
Prepare the WE866Cx module for AP mode by issuing the following AT commands
from Host MCU.
AT+CGDCONT=1,
“IP”,“Example_APN”
AT+CGDCONT=2,
“IP”,“Example_APN”
AT#DUALAPN=1
AT#REBOOT
// “Example_APN” should be changed to the cellular provider’s // APN. After changing
DUALAPN mode, user must reboot for // changes to take effect.
// The above changes are persistent and must be done only // for the first time.
Step 2:
Configure the WE866Cx module to AP mode using the following command
AT#WLANMODE=0
Step 3:
Start the WE866Cx module
