Topic: Using WiFi via existent WiFi Router

Hi!

I did run a small example (turn a LED on and off) using a WiFi with ESP32 using ESP32 as an access point. My problem is I want to use the existent home WiFi and then connect the ESP32 module on it and, of course, use the App in my cell phone to control the LED. Please note that if I use directly the ESP32 WiFi it works, but I want to do that via a normal WiFi connection at my home.

Could you please help me?

Best regards

You can set "Ethernet (Wired and Wireless)" in configuration properties.

I did try it but I'm still not able to identify the board since it seems to be necessary to know it's IP address.

I think the ESP32 will get it's IP from the Router's DHCP so I use the mobile App into the same WiFi network to reach the board.

Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot!

You can set the static IP address for ESP using router settings.
