The client does not enter sleep mode as expected.

[Naveen Pyda]

We are using the Nordic Semiconductor nRF7002-DK. In this board, both PS-Poll and No-PS-Poll power-saving modes are working as expected. However, when running in TWT (Target Wake Time) power mode using the following command:-wifi twt setup 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 1000 60000, the client does not enter sleep mode as expected. Can you help us to enter the device into sleep mode.

Applications Versions: 

1. nRF connection Desktop v5.2.0
2. Toolchain Manager v1.6.0
3. Visual studio cade v2.9.2
4. Windows 11 pro Platform

Hi,

What access point are you using? It could be that the access point does not support TWT.

Can you share device logs when enabling TWT? You can also try the Wi-Fi TWT sample.

Best regards,

Hi,

We are currently using a FreeBox Access Point, which supports TWT (Target Wake Time) power save mode. In the packet capture, we can see both the TWT Request and Accept frames. However, the client is still not entering power save mode.

TWT enabling logs:-

uart:~$ wifi twt setup 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 2000 60000
TWT operation TWT setup with dg: 2, flow_id: 2 requested

Hi Naveen,

Which version of the nRF Connect SDK are you using?

Can you share the sniffer log? If you do not want to share the SSID and password, you can generate a PSK using this link: https://www.wireshark.org/tools/wpa-psk.html  and share that instead, so I can use it to decrypt the packets. If you want me to make this ticket private before sharing the sniffer log, let me know.

Best regards,
Marte

Hi Naveen,

The latest version of the nRF Connect SDK is v3.1.0. v5.2.0 does not exist.
You can find the SDK version in the <ncs_installation>/nrf/VERSION file:

Another option is to open <ncs_installation>/nrf in a terminal and use git describe --tag or git status:

Hi Marte,

For your reference, I’ve attached a screenshot of the nRF Connect version. In Google Chrome, the latest version shown for the Windows platform is v5.2.0.
