I Confirm connect through ESP8266 LAN.
But NetworkDevice on ESP8266 Can't connect Internet
Please teach me...

MyPC(192.168.5.2)<-(192.168.5.1)AP ESP8266 STA(192.168.11.104)->Router(192.168.11.1) ->Internet

I hope MyPC(192.168.5.2) connect through Router(192.168.11.1) to Internet.

You need to check that your PC is configured to connect to the internet using the router as a gateway, and that it knows how to reach that router through the ESP; moreover, you also need to configure the router to accept packets coming from a computer outside the range of its internal network.
