Server

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>

WiFiUDP port;

char packetBuffer[255];
unsigned int localPort = 9999;

const char *ssid = "ESP8266AP";
const char *password = "yourPassword";

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);

Serial.println("\n\nMyAdafruitHeatherAP_5-7-16_2"); //prints filename

WiFi.softAP(ssid, password);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP); // to force connection as only AP
port.begin(localPort);

Serial.print("[Connecting] ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); //0.0.0.0
Serial.println(WiFi.softAPIP()); //192.168.4.1
}

void loop()
{
int packetSize = port.parsePacket();
Serial.print("Received (IP/Size/Data): ");
Serial.print(port.remoteIP());Serial.print(" / ");
Serial.print(packetSize);Serial.print(" / ");

if (packetSize)
{
int len = port.read(packetBuffer, 255);
if (len > 0) packetBuffer[len-1] = 0;
Serial.print(packetBuffer);
port.beginPacket(port.remoteIP(),port.remotePort());
port.write("Your UDP packet was received OK\r\n");
port.endPacket();
}

Serial.println("");
delay(1000);

Serial.print("[Connected] ");
Serial.println (WiFi.localIP());
Serial.println(WiFi.softAPIP());
Serial.println("");

}

I now want to add 3 more clients to send their temperature data to the server but don't know how to begin; any suggestions?

ps
I don't need a web connection just connect to local WLAN

The Op here is running 2 clients to one AP in a ping-pong loop-back way...

I'm doing the reverse, one AP using UDP to broadcast NMEA to multiple clients:
