ESP8266 as gateway

Hello everybody.

I would like to use one ESP8266 as a gateway.

With the original firmware V.9.2.4 I set the CWMODE=3 to create an AP and then connect the ESP8266 to my wireless router.
Then I connect my computer to the ESP8266 AP.
Everything works but I have no access to the Internet. I can't even ping my wireless router (on a diferent netmask).

The goal of this is to extend the range of my wifi network.

Also tried the LUA firmware with the same results.

Is there any firmware that supports this ?

Thank you for your time and sorry about my bad english.

Hey csilva1975, I'm looking at using the ESP8266 this way too. I don't suppose you've had any success in your search?
