Use MESH to share a PPPoS connection
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2018 1:20 am
Hello guys,
We are a company that is developing some ESP32 based control and transmission boards using a 3G/4G network.
We'd like to cut costs by placing a single modem on a ESP32 and let the rest of the ESP32 clients without a modem receive that internet connection.
We've tried extensively to do this on a normal ESP-IDF build but we're not as proficient modifying the lwIP stack.
So my question is, is it possible to use ESPMESH. Or perhaps modifying the ESP-IDF network stack to make this "Wifi" router application a reality?
As far as I've read, ESPMESH requires a "parent" wifi router, so that's why I'm not sure this will work on the current version.
Thanks for your time,
Juan
