Important

This topic is part of the WiFiCx driver model. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The previous Wi-Fi driver model WDI is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.

WDI_TLV_START_AP_PARAMETERS is a TLV that contains the parameters for OID_WDI_TASK_START_AP.

TLV Type

0xAB

Length

The sum (in bytes) of the sizes of all contained elements.

Values

Type Description
UINT32 The beacon period. If non-zero, this parameter specifies the beacon interval.
UINT32 The DTIM period. If non-zero, this parameter specifies the number of beacon intervals between transmissions of beacon frames that contain a TIM element with a DTIM Count field that equals zero. This value is transmitted in the DTIM Period field of beacon frames.
UINT8 This parameter sets the dot11ExcludeUnencrypted MIB. Valid values are 0 and 1.
UINT8 This parameter specifies if the device supports 802.11b speeds. Valid values are 0 (not supported) and 1 (supported). When this value is set to 1, the access point should allow clients using 11b rates to connect to it.
UINT8 This parameter specifies whether to allow legacy SoftAP clients to connect. Valid values are 0 (not allowed) and 1 (allowed).
UINT8 MustUseSpecifiedChannels. This parameter specifies whether the AP can only be started on the channels specified in OID_WDI_TASK_START_AP task parameters with WDI_TLV_AP_BAND_CHANNEL. Valid values are 0 and 1. If it is set to 1, the AP can only be started from the specified list. If it is not set, the list is meant to be a recommendation of channels that the firmware can pick from, and it may pick another channel if it is not possible to start the AP on any of the specified channels.
UINT8 PreferOverStation. This parameter specifies whether the driver should favor the SoftAP link over the STA link and roam the STA connection if needed to improve SoftAP performances. Valid values are 0 and 1.
