#81983 The simple AP mode is not a router. I.e. clients can connect to it, get an ip address, and talk to the AP mode device, but it is not forwarding or routing packets between multiple clients.

There is a project that adds routing capability onto the ESP8266 which may achieve what you want.

See for example https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater
