ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi all,

I have a question to which I can't find a real answer. I know it is possible to update an ESP over the air using wifi:
ESP <-----wifi------> Router <-----wifi------> Computer

But is it possible to have the ESP as an access point running wifi and use OTA ?
Like this:
ESP <-----wifi------> Computer

Thanks !

OTA needs an AP to connect to (thus the other way around), so in theory if you set up your PC as an AP, it *should* be possible (simply put you just make your PC the router) I guess.

I'm using OTA in AP mode with ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer in one of my devices without any problem.
