How to Make a WiFi Repeater using ESP8266 NodeMCU | WiFi Router Range Extender esp8266 esp32 | 2022

[@slackocaster]

I would love for you to demonstrate how this is done on the esp32. I am new to this stuff and a detailed how to would be awesome, as I cannot find a how to video anywhere. You have a very good way of explaining things that even a noob like myself, can understand. thank for the videos!

Thanks for the kind words, I currently dont have an ESP32 available. I would make a video as soon as i can get my hands on one.

Hello Delali, great movie, you perfectly explain step by step for this kind of fresh guys like me. I followed your instruction, had a few issues in the meantime, I had to start 5-6 time from the beggining, but finally works!!! On my ESP8266 ping is 8ms, download 4,6Mbps, upload 5,5Mbps. One remarks - on your movie baud is 1152000 (time in movie 3:45), it doesn't work in my case and I had to set 115200.

[@kosnik9715]

Perfect. It works flawlessly. Is there anything we can do to accept ssid's with space ?

[@Delali]

Use "%20" if your main SSID name needs a space. Example "Home%20Wifi" will result with "Home Wifi".

hi thumbs up for the video mate u didn't tell that we need to switch the chip to the programming mode ?? first??? coz u directly started flashing it please explain what are those small buttons on the chip??

[@Delali]

Thanks for the kind words brother. In some cases, flashing without switching to programmable/flash mode works, as seen in mine. But in most cases it wouldn't. That's what I forgot to mention. The buttons on the chip are FLASH and RESET. Flash puts the chip in programable mode and Reset reboots the chip. Please dont forget to subscribe. Cheers!!

[@rajeevranjan7644]

Hey Delali, First of all, thanks a lot for this informative video. I wanted to know, "Does it work as a repeater mode or access point mode ?" I mean, does it have its own DHCP server or IP assignment is handled by the main router? My objective is to create Access point and manage devices connected to it from this access point only, not the main router. The main router should show this extender connected to it, not all the devices connected to this extender. Thanks again

[@Delali]

Your welcome buddy. It works as repeater but its actually an access point to your actual Wi-Fi router. I believe it has its own DHCP independent of the routers' Managing devices solely on the ESP may be tricky as the software/firmware isn't very flexible or have many options available. Happy new year buddy.

[@yoanitasitumorang5544]

Thank you for your tutorial, I want to ask if a nodemcu is already a repeater, can it still be programmed via the Arduino IDE as an IoT controller?

[@Delali]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes it can. You just need to flash your Arduino code to it just as always and that's it.

Hello bro First of all thank you for giving us such a beautiful and informative video. I had some questions about ESP8266 NodeMCU v3. If I want to make a repeater with it. So my question is 1 / What will be the maximum range of NodeMCU repeater? 2 / What is the maximum data speed of NodeMCU WiFi? 3 / NodeMCU repeater maximum number of people can use together?

[@Delali]

1. I haven't extensively tested that but while connected i could move into different rooms with a gap of about 10m. 2. I had 2.14Mbps download and 0.76Mbps upload speed on testing, i have seen some people who apparently have had up to 5Mbps Upload 3. I haven't tested the maximum number of people, i just had my fone and laptop connected

Please make sure the router whose internet you're trying to share is stable or good, else it wont work well.

[@yashwanth1738]

Tried. But the speed in extender was reduced three times. Can you suggest any updates.

[@yashwanth1738]

Also the esp was very close to the router. For testing purpose. Still the speed is not even exeeceding 1mbps.

[@Delali]

A number of factors come into play that affects the speed like heating, antenna etc. One way to improve the speed is to get an esp with dedicated antenna.

[@yashwanth1738]

@@Delali but with same device I am able to get better speed with aurdino code.

[@yashwanth1738]

Can you recommend esp with antenna model

[@Delali]

@@yashwanth1738 You can try this amzn.to/328SMQX

[@OFCIFR]

is it possible to do it without flashing the firmware?

[@Delali]

Not that i am aware of.

[@YashJain-qh5tn]

Will it cost something?

[@Delali]

Only the cost of buying the esp8266 if you dont already have one.

​@@Delaliuhh bro i tried it again but this time its asking for network key to connect...any idea whats it? Pls tell

[@manuelj8246]

when i do this i try to conect the esp8266 to the computer but the com port doesnt appear what i can do?

[@Delali]

Kindly double check your USB connections and also try resetting your ESP. Let me know how it goes.

[@Delali]

Thanks for getting in touch. If you can't see your port its usually because the UART chip on your ESP board driver is not installed. Go to the link below, download the CP210X and CH341 drivers and install them. Am not sure which one of the two chips your ESP got but one of them will work for you. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M9UKCm1I6qsNywlQFlggDPvXdKDEhLjm?usp=sharing Please dont forget to subscribe.

I follow your all step. then i configure my nodemcu repeater. but problem is i see repeater is no internet connection. please help to solve my problem.

[@Delali]

If the internet content of the WiFi you are trying to repeat isn't very good, the repeater would appear to have no internet access.

[@yvantartakovsky]

Hi, i followed everything, it works but the signal is week. with same distance from my router i got 60mbps for my internet but only get 3mbps using node mcu

[@Delali]

Yh it appears to have a weak signal and mbps on the esp is also very low but when you actually connect to the esp and stream or do something on the internet its quite decent - as i demonstrated toward the end of this video. Also the esp is a small under 5 USD board so its not as great as a professional or customer grade repeater.

[@yashwanth1738]

I have tried other programs with the same esp. Worked quite well, when placed away from the router too. Please let me know if any improvement in code can help.

[@yashwanth1738]

Impressive features is to have a web interface and option to customise the user credentials. Awesome.

[@yashwanth1738]

Liked your total presentation and idea

[@sayanpal7230]

If nodemcu does not show constant led light after flashing or MyAP does not show up...try DIO mode

[@Delali]

Thanks for the insight Sayan. Cheers!!

[@MikkoJordman]

I was not able to flash with tool version 3.9.3. but 3.8.5 was ok.

[@Delali]

Im glad it worked for you. Happy new year fam. Cheers!!
