Can't figure out ESP8266 ESP-01 to work with Arduino and Wifi

Ight so I just want it to connect to my WiFi so I can control stuff on the Arduino Uno.
Here's my situation

  • My wifi is 2.4 Band
  • The Buad is set at 115200 and nun else works
  • I've wired it up various ways and nothing has worked (Only 3.3V ofc)
  • Only time I can get AT commands to respond it also spams "�"
  • It's set to station mode
  • I have the ESP library installed and the jason link pasted in the library manager

Anyone who can show me the proper way to wire it up would be helping me a ton. Or if any ideas of what I could be doing wrong my cross ur mind. Thanks in advance.

Please post a clear picture of how you have things connected, and maybe a diagram of the same (hand drawn is fine).

Also post the code that you are using.

I don't have it hooked up at all rn because i've been redoing it over and over again for days now. Also I didn't have any direct code to the ESP since I couldn't even connect it with AT commands

i'll hook it up the best I can rq tho

VCC - 3.3V
GND - GND
RXD - RX
TXD - TD (I’ve already tried flipping them)
CHPD - 3.3V

Also yes the ESP is on the right way on the breakout board. I originally did this with just jumper wires and nothing worked then.
