Answer 1

You could indeed simply use the createGroup function from the API to create a group, which also makes the access point. The first problem here is that the access point name & password are set automatically, and you can not change them.

So, you do need to pass the info to the connecting party, and for this, I would suggest using the local service advertising, and using the instance name there.

Did make simple test app for this and you can find it from Github under DrJukka/MyWifiMesh, also some discussions on the topic can be found from my blog
