CC3200 can't connect to Wlan after being set as AP

Have been having great strides with CC3200 and Energia, but I hit a snag, hoping someone can assist.

I am attempting to use a AP server to display to surrounding available SSIDs and connect to it. Unfortunately as soon as I try to connect to the Wlan using WiFi.Begin it just fails. 

I have attached the test code below. When removing the WiFi.BeginNetwork(); the CC3200 connects to the WLan mentioned. But as soon as you introduce the AP it just doesn't connect.

//Include Files
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <WiFiServer.h>
#include <WString.h>

//stage 1
String security = "WPA";
String ssidconnect = "SSID";
String Passstr = "PASSWORD";
char ssid[50];
char Password[50];

char wifi_name[] = "APtest";     //create mem location, allow to be change in setup
char wifi_password[] = "APPassword"; //create mem location, allow to be change in setup

//Create Wifi server
WiFiServer server(80);

void setup()
{

  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Serial Terminal Initiated...");
  
  // Initiate Wifi
  WiFi.init();
  Serial.println("Wifi Initiated...");


  // Start WiFi and create a network with wifi_name as the network name
  // with wifi_password as the password.
  Serial.print("Starting network...");
  //WiFi.beginNetwork(wifi_name, wifi_password);
  Serial.println("done.");
  
  Serial.println("Starting webserver on port 80");
  server.begin();                           // start the web server on port 80
  Serial.println("Webserver started!");  
}

void loop()
{
  
    int keyIndex = 1;
    int stringlen = ssidconnect.length() + 1;
    ssidconnect.toCharArray(ssid, stringlen);
    stringlen = Passstr.length() + 1;
    Passstr.toCharArray(Password,stringlen);
    Serial.print("Security:  "); 
    Serial.println(security); 
    
    if(security == "WEP") {    
      Serial.println("Connecting to WEP encryption"); 
      // print the network name (SSID);
      Serial.println(ssid); 
      // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
      WiFi.begin(ssid, keyIndex,  Password);
    }
    else if (security == "WPA") {  
      Serial.println("Connecting to WPA encryption");
      // print the network name (SSID);
      Serial.print("SSID:  "); 
      Serial.println(ssid); 
      Serial.print("Password:  "); 
      Serial.println(Password); 
      // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
      WiFi.begin(ssid, Password);
    }
    else if (security == "None") {    
      Serial.println("Connecting to NO encryption");
      // print the network name (SSID);
      Serial.println(ssid); 
      // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
      WiFi.begin(ssid);
    }
    else {
      Serial.println("Can't pick up encryption type");      
      // Couldnt find Encryption type
      delay(1);
    }
    while ( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
      // print dots while we wait to connect
      Serial.print(".");
      delay(300);
    }
    Serial.println("\nYou're connected to the network");
    Serial.println("Waiting for an ip address");
  
    while (WiFi.localIP() == INADDR_NONE) {
      // print dots while we wait for an ip addresss
      Serial.print(".");
      delay(300);
    }

  Serial.println("\nIP Address obtained");
  // continue 
}

I'd appreciate any assistance in determining how to stop the AP or just getting the Wlan to run.

Thank you,
