#66394 I have this WiFi module called ESP8266 Nodemcu Module

Picture:

You can see that we use the micro usb input in the module to give it Power and Also to program it with Arduino

However,

i looked in the examples in Arduino IDE about ESP8266,

i also googled about it,

i couldn't find anything related to giving internet through that micro usb input,

what i mean is, i want this Module to connect to my home WiFi Router, and give internet to my PC Through USB!

Short Question: is it possible to make ESP8266 Nodemcu Module as a USB WiFi Adapter?

Is there any code or a firmware to achieve this?

Any ideas would be appreciated..

And modems connect through a serial port. So, Yes, it can be made into a WiFi adapter. :D

I have not seen it done yet, but that does not mean that it has not been done. I have not looked for it.
