I had the same problem as you. I found out it was a newline issue. What are your settings in the serial monitor? Try chaning it to "Newline and Carrage Return" and 9600 baud.
This way you should be able to send AT commands to it, and get responses. Then you can change the mode, or config it the way you want.

This is my first post here, I have some experience in Arduino, but the ESP8266 is new for me.
The wiring is like it should on arduino, with no code loaded on it (bare minimum sketch- 9600baud). The only thing I get after powering the ESP is: [Vendor:www.ai-thinker.com Version:0.9.2.4]
ready
sending AT or whatever is not doing anything. any idea?
Thx all!
you have iot firmware. you must flash at firmware.

Hey, The tutorial looks great, but I still don't know how to connect my Arduino uno r3 to my ESP8266. I looked everywhere how to do it, but it's all to complicated for me. (I have my arduino 3 months now) Can somebody help me with an really easy tutorial, so I can scan networks or something like that?

@cooltafel here is a video that shows how to connect the Arduino to the ESP8266 as well as some code you can use
