Looking for a Wifi UART Module for Arduino -> Android

Hi everyone,

can someone tell me if there is a Wifi UART Module available with which I can send raw serial data from an Arduino to Android and vice versa?

Currently I have a HC-06 Bluetooth Module. With this I can simply type:

Serial1.print("10,50,30.6,340,5.........");

And on Android this is exactly what I will receive.

I have recently tried the ESP8266 module. It was the biggest disappointment ever. I don't want to send the length of the data first and then the data wrapped in html headers etc.

I need to send raw serial data only. No headers, no nothing.
Is anyone aware of a module which fulfills my needs?

Thanks in advance!

Then, you really do not understand what a WiFi shield is for.

I will just overlook your ignorant comment.

I may have found the answer. ESP-Link...It can act as a transparent Wifi Bridge.
Seems like lots of people have been wanting this. But they must all be as stupid as me, since we don't understand what a WiFi shield is for...
