Wifi connection on nrf9160dk with nrf7002ek

[willdrowley]

Hello,

We have the nrf9160dk with nrf7002ek shield attachment. We have successfully been able to build and run examples with the scan only overlay (e.g. asset tracker v2).

I know that the SDK does not yet officially support LTE-M and wifi coexistence. Is it possible to form wifi connections using the nrf9160 as the host board? Even if this means turning off the LTE-M modem for the time being until coexistence is supported? Additionally, is there an approximate timeline as to when we can expect LTE-M and wifi coexistence?

Thanks,

Will

Fair enough, I will most likely use nRF5340 as HTTPS requests do seem to work here the nrf9160 can only use limited Wi-Fi functionalities (scan only, no sta mode) when paired with nrf7002 which I didn't realize while working on my project. Maybe esp32 host might be an option.

Hello Axel,

So having an 9160 alongside a 5340 & 7002 is not an option for you?

Hi, it is. It is what I'll try first, I am just not sure yet how to implement the firmwares. I think I'll have two, one for the 91 another for 5340 and both will have access to storage memory, not ideal  but should work for me.
