now that software serial is working, try this, note: change baud rate of your esp8266
/*
WiFiEsp example: ConnectWPA
This example connects to an encrypted WiFi network using an ESP8266 module.
Then it prints the MAC address of the WiFi shield, the IP address obtained
and other network details.
For more details see: http://yaab-arduino.blogspot.com/p/wifiesp-example-connect.html

directly from WiFiEsp.h examples. Note: this code relies on changing ESP8266 default baud rate, which I explain in post #19
This is serial monitor output
