Hi,

I am connecting two ESP8266 one is for Access Point and one is for Web Server The ESP8266 Web Server connects perfect to my router, and gets an IP address from it, and Web Server working perfectly on my home router but when I connect to ESP8266 WEB SERVER with ESP8266 Access point also get IP address and I will able to ping both ESP8266 from my laptop but my web browser couldn't load page it just times out. can any one facing this issue please help.

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
