I am not quite sure if this is the right section for posting this thread, but any admin an correct me through

Suppose someone has an ESP8266 module and programming in LUA via ESPlorer.
If i want to setup the SSID and WEP key parameters WITHOUT changing it hard coded inside my LUA script, how will it be done ?
Example : Somehow i move the ESP to another location with another router settings (SSID name and WEP key). Is there any LUA script that represents a mini html page with SSID and WEP key fields to change them , and then keep the module running the rest of my code as a STATION mode (web sever) ?

Thanks in advance
Timothy

I'm by no means an expert, and just learning myself, but I'd think that you'd have to create a variable to be read into a string to send to the router setting up the ssid-key. That being said that variable would be lost at reset/powercycle and have to be re-entered somehow. Normally via a serial input of some terminal program or such. If you have no serial input connected to it, IE it being remote and stand alone, I don't see how that would be reloaded.
