Thank You for Great Video! It works 😊.
After a lot of time wasted on a STUPID problem... (I downloaded only the BIN-files directly from inside Github. I thought I was SMART 😖)
That led to PROBLEMS when trying to run the code on ESP32. And LOTS of frustration and wasted time.
After downloading the whole ZIP (as described in the video), everything worked perfectly. 👍😊
Hahaha, Glad it finally worked out for you.

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. Do you know how I can set devices connected to the new AP with with a static IP?
It depends on the devices you have. If the devices have flexible menu's for connectivity control the its possible to set your devices to have a static IP.
If not I'm not sure how to set that on your devices.
hello! its not working for me with the new repository, i am using nodemcu esp32 and this is the message i get when i flash:
Uploading stub...

you the "man" Delali
Github now has an up-to-date version in which the STA and AP have been swapped, so I didn't set it up right away. Anyway, useful video, thank you!
Thanks for the info! much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.
Nice video! how can i do it for the ttgo lora32 oled-v1? I tried flashing it but nothing happens. Thanks!
Try holding the PRG(program) button the ttgo board and see if it works.
This works better for ESP32 NodeMCU boards because there's no other chip add-ons. TTGO my complicate things a little.

Hi from South Africa, never seen the ESP flash thing before. I usually work with the Arduino software as it is easy to import whole git projects as zip files. I will try this though just for experiencing the esp flash .tool
Sure fam, try it and let us know how it goes.
Please don't forget to subscribe. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year.
Hi, Well explained. How many devices can connect to the ESP32 ?
Unfortunately I only connected two devices, that is my phone and laptop...I haven't tried more devices so I cant tell.
If you get to try more devices please let me know.
Hi, i have a repeater which i have connect to my computer thro USB, my question is can i with USB-to-microUSB adapter connect repeater and ESP8266 to have WIFI connectivity
Thats an interesting question, i have never thought about or tried this.
I just made a few searches but didnt get much. Maybe it exist but, might take some time to find. Please let me know if you come across anything.
Thanks bro it worked for me , i did same as you told me tell me if i want to make my ESP32 board normal in future how can i do that.
You just have to flash it with an empty sketch from your Arduino IDE.
Thanks for the feedback and have a happy new year.
@@Delali thanks bro and Happy new year to you also and i have a suggestion for you plz make a BLE Gampad with ESP32 and use in built touch feature to control it. give code and process in detail .
Delali for president!!!!
wode3 gymii saaa!
@@GHizmoHub ah😂😂
herh Delppy dier.😂😂
Excellent but if i need to change the ip of repeater (being client mode not access point)?
Can you please come again?
I did this just as you said, and it works perfect. I am able to broadcast to a building 30 feet away through two brick walls. Previously I did not get the signal in that building but now I can get 3 to 4 Mbps. Question, could you do it the exact same way, but instead use the ESP 32 cam module, without the cam attached, because the cam module comes with an external antenna? Stronger signal and more range?
Its amazing to hear you were able to successfully build one of your own.
Concerning the ESP cam module, as long as your able to upload the bin files unto it, i believe it should work fine and give a better range as well. I haven't tried this on an ESP cam though but I dont see why it shouldn't work.
Please dont forget to subscribe. Cheers!!
I am interested if u tried it with the ESP CAM and external antenna?! :D
@@vertaniacity9113 sorry but i never did get the time to try it with the espcam and ext antenna. If i ever do I will reply post to this comment. If anyone else does it please also post here to this comment string
@@toddroles3234 I tried it and it worked 3 times stronger :D breathtaking :D i can just recommend it!
Can I get the file ?
do you know of longer range repeater ? is the ESP8266 have better speed than the esp32? cheers
I think the esp32 might be better than esp8266
lovely
Glad you think so. Please dont forget to subscribe.
What if connected to a captive portal hotspot? Can it connect to wifi first like you described and then go to the captive hotspot portal to login?
please come again? Im not sure i get your question
where do you keep the esp32 board after setting it up around the device or around the router
Keep it in range of the router. At least where I'd see about 2 wifi bars
Do you think it would be possible to run this alongside esphome on the same chip?
I dont think so. But anything is possible, if you have the technical know how, you could modify the wifi firmware and add extra functionalities that could support esphome.
Just thinking out loud.
how to reset it to default firmware?
I was able to successfully follow the instructions in the video and connect two ESP32 repeaters to my router. They worked well, but I am having trouble communicating with the devices connected to the networks of the repeaters. Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue? Thanks for the video
Thanks for reaching out.
Are your devices able to connect to the repeater network?
Can you kindly recommend any place I can get the ESP32 to buy?
I've added a link to where to get one in the description please.
For the 2.4ghz, can you connect to the wireless N type?
According to some articles I found on the internet it works with the n type too...
NOTE: I haven't done any extensive test on the subject to be able to tell for sure.
can you still use the esp32 as a normal microcontroller after this? or do i have to flash the stock firmware?
Yes you can.
You just have to upload new code to it using your Arduino IDE or with ever tool you use for programming your MCU
How did you determine that the hex file location of the bootloader.bin file is 0x1000 or the other files?
i am wondering this too
From the research i made before making the video, those were the hex values specified.
Did you have any issues using those values?
Will the devices connected to the repeater and the router be in the same lan ? why cant we give it the same name as the router SSID and Password?
Yes fam. Devices connected will be in the same lan.
To the best of my knowledge, there's no reason why the repeater SSID and password cant be the same as the router.
Actually my repeater at home is setup with similar details as the router but I didn't do that in this video because I wanted people to easily identify the router and repeater by name.
Possible to use multiple esp32s to make a mesh? With same SSID?
Yes, that should also work.
I haven't tried that specifically but one time, I had two routers configured with the same name and password. I placed the two routers at opposite ends of a building and it made the wifi seem it was everywhere and with a strong signal.
Hey man, I have an ESP32 Cam, does this method work for me or do I have to buy another one?
It should work. As long as you're able to flash the BIN files.
Buddy what about the range how broad it can cover or amplify?
the range depends on the structure in which you live. Heavier materials like concrete might drop the range more.
Sir in my pc I have completed full set up but the flasher options are not coming pls tell what to do I have project on it and date is till 25th Oct pls tell fast
Please make sure you have all the needed drivers installed for the esp.
You can also delete all the flasher software and related files. Then download them and install again to be sure nothing is corrupted.
Go to the link below, download the CP210X and CH341 drivers and install them. Am not sure which one of the two chips your ESP got but one of them will work for you.
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M9UKCm1I6qsNywlQFlggDPvXdKDEhLjm?usp=sharing
Let me know how it goes!!
I using win10 and the esp isn’t showing up in the flasher program!
I could be a driver issue. Please check if your ESP has the CH340 UART chip or CP210x and download the appropriate driver for it.
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M9UKCm1I6qsNywlQFlggDPvXdKDEhLjm?usp=drive_link
What range does this have? I want to use it for my school cuz the Wi-Fi there doesn’t work for us
The range is about 10m max in open air.
Ok ty
Hi buddy do u know how can i flash the old bootloader/rom so i can used as it came?
Hello, thanks for reaching out,
Kindly select the esp32 or esp you have under Tools menu > boards in your Arduino ide, then under tools menu again, click burn bootloader.
@@Delali thx sir
I’ve got the exact same ESP32
cool
Can it be used to extend the range of jio fiber ?
Not sure what jio fibre is but if it has a Wi-Fi output, it can be extended.
5G wifi extending supported?
The ESP32 available on the market currently doesnt support 5G yet. However Espressif's ESP32-C5 supports 5G.
Kindly take a look at this article.

Is there a way to limit the bandwidth from 40MHz to 20MHz
I'm not sure, as i havent tried that.
Thanks. I can't download the Flash Download Tools program because a virus is detected ?! and I can't find another source :(
Are you downloading from the official Espressif website?
Hey can you make a VPN ROUTER with the ESP32 WIFI ?
I haven't tried that so I can't tell for sure.
I can find out tho, if its something do-able.
Can I use esp32cam instead of ESP32 dev module?
I havent tried the cam module of the esp32, so i cant say for sure, however i don't see why it shouldnt work.
much better than esp8266
Yes i believe so.
I also think it can be even better if i use the esp32 with dedicated UFL antenna
Having some issues setting this up. Can someone help me out please?
Please what seems to be the challenge?
DEAR WHICH RANGE IT COVER IN 360'
About 8m indoors but more in open air with clear line of sight.
how mutch
Can I Coonect Esp32 To 5ghz wifi
Unfortunately not.
What is the max range ?
About 10m in open air....but its much less when in an enclosed space with cement walls
what do i do if the 192.168.4.1 dont do anything it keeps timeing out
Kindly unplug the power to the ESP and plug it back to restart it. Or perhaps reflash, maybe something went wrong.
with esp32 wroom 32u is the flashing method the same?
I believe it is the same. Kindly let me know how it goes.
@@Delali It'll work. Also how to reset this?
how do u get the 0x number
Actually they are what I found from my research before making the video. I'm not sure where I saw them or how they came about exactly.
Any ideas?
What about bridge mode(wifi to ethernet)
I don't quite get you....you mean you want to connect your ESP to your pc via ethernet?
@@Delali Hi mate, I mean convert wifi to ethernet(wired). Do you know what board is great for that purpose?
@@kiu8179 I'd have to do a few searches for that.
A cheaper alternative is to use your laptop. First, you need to make sure your laptop is connected to any wifi network. Then you go into your network and sharing center if you use windows. Go to properties and then to Sharing....then set your laptop to share the wifi connection of ethernet.
You can now connect a LAN cable to your RJ45 port and plug it into any other device with LAN port. viola
Can I Use Esp32 As Wiif Jammer
I can't say for sure because I haven't tried it. There are a couple of videos out there that say it's possible though.
@@Delali sir esp8266 attack started but wifi not jamming after 15 min please is there any way to jam wifi for more than 15 min
@@taranveersinghbansal5386 Sorry fam, I cant help with that. I haven't tried that before.
Can we use it for 5G?
Unfortunately no. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
@@Delali 😂
how i can programme it with phone, Please tell me
I haven't tried that before, I cant tell.

Bro my coom is not coming...after connect the esp
Please install the driver for the esp32 if you haven't already. The driver is usually CP2102 or CH3407.
kindly search for them on google and install them.
Also tell how to restore it to factory
Just flash an empty Arduino sketch unto it. That's it.

@@Delali thanks for quick reply
Все понял... Дальность какая? Thank
Its about 10m[rough estimate, i haven't measured] in open air but much lesser in walled spaces.
I forgot password what to do
Unfortunately you will have to re-flash your esp all over again. Sorry buddy.
Please give this code
I've added the link to the files in the video description. Kindly check and download it.
it has very small range, cant use as repeater i guess.
Depends on the use case. Also this isn't meant to replace your commercial repeater.
