Good evening to everyone,
tonight I am experiencing a problem with transmitting UDP datagrams. I tried to configure a network as following:
[CLIENT 1 ] --------> [ ACCESS POINT ] <------------ [CLIENT 2]
Basically the "Access Point" has to communicate to "Client 1" and "Client 2" has to communicate with "Client 1" too, in practice this does not happen. I can send UDP packets from the Access Point to the Client 1, but no packets sent from Clients 2 is received by Client 1.
The "Access Point" is an ESP8266 configured as SoftAP, the code is the following:
Client 2 and Client 1 are my laptop (with netcat) and my smartphone ( with an UDP sender/receiver app) respectively, but I also tried with another ESP8266 configured as station having the same negative result.
Have you got any idea of what is not letting me communicating correctly?
Thank you in advance !

Client 2 and Client 1 are my laptop (with netcat) and my smartphone ( with an UDP sender/receiver app) respectively, but I also tried with another ESP8266 configured as station having the same negative result.
Have you got any idea of what is not letting me communicating correctly?
Thank you in advance !
