Story

In the previous article I made a Tutorial on how to set the mode on ESP8266, which is as an Access point or wifi station and as a wifi client.

in this article I will show you how to set ESP8266 mode to be both mode. That is, in this Mode ESP8266 can be an Access point and wif client simultaneously.

Step 1: Required Components

1 / 2

Step 2: Programming

I have provided Sketches for this tutorial. the sketch can be downloaded below.

Before uploading a sketch to NodeMCU, make sure the NodeMCU board has been added to the Arduino IDE.

To ensure that ESP8266 can be used for access points and WiFi clients together, let's check one by one.

ESP8266 as an Wifi Clients:

Open Serial Monitor
Press reset on NodeMCU
If the serial monitor is displayed like Figure 1, it means that the ESP8266 has succeeded in becoming a WiFi client that is connected to an access point

ESP8266 as a wifi station:

Open the WiFi menu on the android phone.
If there is an access point named "NodeMCU" and you can connect to that access point, it means that ESP8266 has succeeded in becoming an access point for the Android phone.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

const char* APssid = "NodeMCU";
const char* APpassword = "1234567890";
const char* ssid = "Paris Nangisan";
const char* password = "11111111";

WiFiServer server(80);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(10);
  
 // Mengatur WiFi ----------------------------------------------------------
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Configuring access point...");
  
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
  WiFi.softAP(APssid, APpassword);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
   }
  
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");
   
 // Start the server -------------------------------------------------------
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("Server dijalankan");
   
 // Print the IP address ---------------------------------------------------
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.println(WiFi.softAPIP());
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}
