Hi all,
I'm starting with ESP8266 a simple project based on ESP8266 WiFiWebServer example, to connect my ESP to my HOME WIFI and it works fine, but now I need a way to get IP and MAC Address of the client that ask the ESP for a web page.

I found a solution but it works only if I make the ESP as AP STATION, so I can query *stat_info to get information on all clients connected.

Any solution for simple ESP client?

Thanks in advance.

Getting the IP address of the calling client seems to be easy enough:

Code: Select allwebserver->client().remoteIP().toString()

where webserver is a:

Code: Select allESP8266WebServer* webserver;

The MAC address looks to be a bit more challenging though - I don't see any available method in the arduino core that enables this. Perhaps there's something in the underlying SDK..not sure.

WiFi.macAddress()

Unfortunately, this gives MAC of the server, not the MAC of the client connected to the server ...
