Hi Menon, thanks for replying! Ok, I will try if I can skip the scan step and just connect. Currently in my code I'm just calling net_mgmt() to connect to wifi right after the drivers are initialized. We just got our code to build and work in 2.4.0 (not fully yet), so we're going to try twt sometime this week.

Hello,

I think scanning the full dual band takes up to 5 seconds (approx.), and that is one of the main reasons for the longer time you are seeing here. If you already know the channel, then using wifi connect <ssid><channel> will make an immediate connection and will bring down the scan time drastically. You can update your application for doing this.

[quote user=""]instead just the beginning, however twt would be something we'd like to implement with 2.4.0.[/quote]

But if you want your device to sleep and be low on power, then TWT is a better option than turning Wi-Fi off or on every time.
