ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi,

I am trying to create a wireless network, where I will be controlling multiple ESP8266 modules with a single master ESP8266. The master will be uploading data to website, so need help as I am new to WiFi technology. Although working on Arduino and good in its programming.

Thanks in advance.

do you want the master esp8266 to create a network for other esp8266? the esp8266 SoftAP clients count is limited to 5

Another option is to create a mesh network with the "Master" as gateway/bridge to the internet.

Yeah, I am trying to create a mesh network exactly, I didn't know this term, thanks for the link. I will look into that.

Actually I am working on the Internet of things, I want to add more than 100 in the future in a single network, so this option(esp8266 SoftAP clients) won't work for me.
