Hello all,
(I am not sure if this the correct group for this post. If not apologies to all)
I am curious if zigbee devices (802.15.4) can see wifi 802.11 wireless access points (WAN networks). I do not mean that they can talk to each other or that they transmit data to each other - I imagine that is impossible due to the fact they are of different protocols. However, since they both operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency band, I am wondering if the zigbee devices cannot obtain the name of a (802.11) wireless access points and other information that identify it, in the same (or similar) manner a wifi device can see a WEP-protected wireless access point without actually being connected to it.
Any light shed will be appreciated,
Regards,
-Dave
