I want to configure a chain of wifi access points so I can extend the range of an ESP 32 access point.
AP 1 -> AP 2 -> ...
to do this each access point must be able to connect to an upstream point (gateway) This, I think, requires an ip, ssid, and pwd for the upstream wifi AP.
I am using examples in Visual Studio (not code) I can find no way to set the gateway IP, ssid and password for the upstream gateway.
I have worked on this for a long time.
I can't even find a way to set the ip address. It is somewhere deep in esp_netif_init() but tracing into it I cannot find it. Somewhere it comes up with a default IP which is not what I want. Each link above, I think, must be in an IP space (determined by a mask)
How do I set the station and gateway IP and mask? How do I set the IP, SSID and PWD for the upstream AP (gateway)
Please help
