Ethernet Wi-fi Bridge, or AP + STA bridge

Postby pumpkin_pie » Thu Oct 26, 2017 12:59 am

I was wondering if it was possible to either bridge the Ethernet to the Wi-Fi, or to put the Wi-Fi in APSTA mode and bridge the AP to the STA. Basically I want the functionality of being able to have devices connect to the ESP32 and for them to have internet through the ESP32. I imagine this should be possible, but I have not been able to unearth any native support for this type of thing? Is there any info out there about working examples of this, or steps to take to make this work?

Thanks

I have seen an example of a NAT router for the ESP8266 here:
https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater

I think NAT functionality would also be a good solution to the traffic routing problem. Does the ESP32 use a customized version of the LwIP library? Could I find a version of LwIP that supports one to many NAT and build my firmware with that library?

Also interested in this. Bridging between ETH, STA and AP.

This ESP32 wifi repeater has ethernet support:

Some info on ESP32 wireless bridging, which might be relevant for ethernet support:
