I don't think we have a solution.

Note that BLE mesh requires the radio to be in RX mode most of the time. If you do wifi (which I also assume heavily use the radio) I don't think mesh performance would be good.

Thanks Hung, so for BLE mesh co-existence with WiFi, if customer wants to make a router, that is necessary, seems they need to rely on themselves for the solution, right? Do we have any suggestion?

Hi Leon,

1. No, I don't think we have any. (we have Bluetooth Mesh and BLE co-existence but I guess it's not related)

2. I don't see any problem. Just modify the co-existence BLE peripheral code to do central and it should be fine. There could be a small issue when the central scan to connect to a peripheral. In this period the mesh performance could be affected (depends on how you configure the scan window and scan interval) but after the connection established I don't see any problem doing Mesh and BLE central.
