ESP8266 Community Forum

- Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:46 pm #7124 Here's something simple that it doesn't do as far as I know.
Start up the ESP8266 as an AP.
Connect to it from 2 devices.
The 2 devices can't see each other, but with any usual wifi router it would pass IP packets from one connection to the other.

Can this be made to work? I have a device that can't act as an AP that I'd like to connect with an Android tablet, and this would be all that would be required.

lwip? I've just started with the SDK. How would I do this?
