Description of station class has been broken down into four parts. First discusses methods to establish connection to an access point. Second provides methods to manage connection like e.g. ``reconnect`` or ``isConnected``. Third covers properties to obtain information about connection like MAC or IP address. Finally the fourth section provides alternate methods to connect like e.g. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).

An effort to unify such network device class accross several Arduino core implementations has been made. Recommandations are located at `Arduino-Networking-API <https://github.com/JAndrassy/Arduino-Networking-API>`__ and tested with `NetApiHelpers <https://github.com/JAndrassy/NetApiHelpers>`__. Esp8266 Arduino core's station class is also following these guidelines.

Note that to reenable DHCP, all three parameters as 0.0.0.0 (local_ip, gateway and subnet as ``INADDR_ANY``) must be passed back to config() and re-connecting is needed.

Please note that station with static IP configuration usually connects to the network faster. In the above example it took about 500ms (one dot `.` displayed). This is because obtaining of IP configuration by DHCP client takes time and in this case this step is skipped. If you pass all three parameter as 0.0.0.0 (local_ip, gateway and subnet), it will re enable DHCP. You need to re-connect the device to get new IPs.
