I need to setup an ad-hoc network using a bunch of ESP8266 boards. One of them will be in SoftAP mode, while the other are just normal WiFi clients, and will connect to the SoftAP 8266 using just its SSID. The client 8266s will periodically send UDP packets to the SoftAP 8266, as event notifications…
