Followed many simple tutorial for and most works fine but using this module as web-server doesn't work as expected.
From the Arduino examples ESP8266WebServer-HelloServer compile and upload fine, serial monitor gives me confirmation that .......
Connected to "xxmywifixx"
IP address: 192.168.1.99
MDNS responder started
HTTP server started
When ever I try to connect from my browser to 192.168.1.99 its times out and nothing ever happens
The ESP12E crates its own wifi network "AI-Thinker_17xxxx" if I connected to this wifi the HelloServer works fine on 192.168.4.1
How to turn off the 2nd wifi AP and how to access to the webserver from my actual home wifi ?

Thanks

My router decided some time ago to update the firmware and the new firmware come with wifi isolation, after turning it off it works now.

I don't know if I have the same problem.
I loaded webserver code onto my esp12e, which seemed to work OK.
I then reloaded it with another program (to check a temperature sensor). That measured the temperature sensor ok, but put a new web sever up ssid AI-Thinker ***** .
I can't get rid of it. Takes lots of wifi power.
Where has it come from? How do I get rid of it. ?
Any ideas?
