I have an arduino running a app controlling a unit connected to the router via ethernet. I want to replace the wired ethernet connection with the wifi of the esp8266-12. As the esp8266 can run the same program as the arduino???, I was wondering if i cannot use it to do the job. I first thought that it would just being a matter of logging the esp8266 to the router and adding the software of the arduino app.I have an example where the esp8266 logs into the router with wps and seems quite stable but from here forward I am unable to make headway. I am new at wifi and networking but want to learn as much as possible so as to connect the esp8266 to other equipment wirelessly. Any pointers will be appreciated.
