ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello i wonder if it is possible to change the SSID name on the esp8266 mine comes up as AI-Thinker and if so which commands can do it. second thing is how can i add a password to the ssid so if i go to my wifi and click on the ssid name it will ask me for a password. The last question is How many users can connect to a Single esp8266 in one location? thank you.

Depending of the version of your AT firmware, it would be "AT+CWSAP_DEF=<ssid>,<pwd>,<chl>,<ecn>" or "AT+CWSAP=<ssid>,<pwd>,<chl>,<ecn>". (info from 4A-ESP8266 AT Instruction Set_v0.22.pdf).
It is also possible to do it programmatically using WiFi.softAP() in ArduinoIDE.
