Hello, I have esp-link running in AP-STA mode via station, WAN can also be reached and a gateway (for static IP) is also specified below under "Special Settings". However, a client logged in via the Soft AP does not have Internet access. It can access both the 192.168.4.1 and the station IP, for me a static one. So on the esp-link web server and Telnet but not on the Internet. Would it be possible? Many thanks for the help.

Don't get it, what do you mean by "not on internet"?

Vonderhecke commented 3 months ago

there is no connection to the WAN

uzi18 commented 3 months ago

Yes, AP mode means only connection to ESP to configure it (or local connection). It will not forward packets to WAN as router does.

It's a shame, but it was just an idea that he could have expanded the WiFi a little in addition to the actual tasks.

Not sure if it is possible, should dig some information from IDF documentation.
