#53129 Hey guys.

I have a wifi router. The wifi has its SSID and is password protected.

I also have many NodeMCU clients. They connect to the WiFi using the SSID and Password and I am able to send messages from my Phone to the End NodeMcu Device through WiFi and Internet.

My problem is, I am designing a system, wherein, the NodeMcu end device needs to connect to the internet without a password. That is obviously not possible with my main router. Because the router is SSID and Password protected.

I need a middle-man device. I am confused as to what that device must be. An Access Point? The flow of information I need is as follows:

Android----> Internet-----> Router(SSID, Password)-----> Hub (SSID)------> End NodeMcu WiFi Device.

Will this HUB be configured as an AP? or some other configuration? - See more at: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1929&start=8#sthash.uaiCjyrX.dpuf
