Do I have a wrong opinion of that ESP8266?
Is it a WiFi module to connect the Pi to the Internet?

Thx

This module is not a replacement for a WiFi dongle! It is designed for people who wish to experiment with the ESP8266 platform - if you just want WiFi connectivity you'd be better off using the Official Raspberry Pi WiFi Dongle instead.
