Common questions on ESP32, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Why not buy a proper Wi-Fi extender?

Budget Wi-Fi extenders for $20-$40 seemed like an obvious fix, albeit not without flaws. Those Wi-Fi extenders create a separate SSID, need a strong signal to repeat, and deliver less than half the bandwidth. Placing it to repeat the signal enough in a dead zone to help out while maintaining a usable uplink is trickier than it sounds. The ESP32-S3 sidesteps most of that. I flashed the ESP NAT Router firmware and set it up to act as a NAT router — bridging my main network and working as an access point. No subscription, no cloud account, or dedicated app required. The ESP32 costs $10 while the
