ESPnow no go in AP mode

Hi
I am using ESP32's in this config. If I put the transmitter in AP and receiver in Station, I get no reception. When both are in Station its OK. Is this a limitation when transmitter and receiver are ESP32? Or am I missing something?
Thanks

Try to set the module in mixed mode (look in the help file)

Hi cicciocb

Only works if both modules are in mixed mode, or if both modules are in station mode. IP doesn't stick when in AP mode...

Thanks

Thanks cicciocb

Got it to work by putting both in mixed mode with "wifi.connect" as you suggested.
- sender in AP mode with this added--------> WIFI.CONNECT "receivers AP name", "receivers AP password" ' for mixed mode
- receiver in AP mode with this added--------> WIFI.CONNECT "routers wifi name", "routers wifi password" ' for mixed mode



Thanks!
