I would like to run the ESP in AP mode but serve my own web pages.

I would like to display and control a remote device while being remote.

There will be no AP available for my tablet and the ESP to connect to in the middle.

If this is doable, would I need to configure the ESP in a special way to do this.

Just like a peer-to-peer on ethernet, can I peer-to-peer via WiFi ?
