Hi everybody!!! its my first post !!! yesterday i just got my esp8226-01 and im trying to configure it with arduino uno!!! my help it’s http://www.prometec.net/arduino-wifi/ ... but when i try to look the WIFI around me it doesn’t works... would you help me ?

The comand at+cwlap try to find wifi around 2hours.... so what's happend?

Go to the wiki and follow it http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php
What have you actually got?
Does anything show on the Serial terminal?
Should be some garbage when you switch on followed by a product message with ready then it will take the AT commands
Then if your SSID and password are correct it will connect to Access Point

Did you set it to AT+CWMODE=3 or AT+CWMODE=1 ?

The standard setting seems to be AT+CWMODE=2, which is AP mode only.

To scan for wifi networks you have to enable STA mode or else the module will only return "ERROR"
