# esp_wifi_repeater
A full functional WiFi NAT router (and now also a WiFi repeater aka. L2 bridge)
**NEW 2026:** *10 years after the first release it has finally become, what it ever pretendend to be: a true WiFi repeater. In order not to break any existing docs and links, the standard edition still remains the well-known NAT router version with all the advanced features. But if you are interested in a stripped down true L2 bridge, look below in the section [WiFi Repeater - L2 bridge](#wifi-repeater---l2-bridge).

This is an implementation of a WiFi NAT router on the esp8266 and esp8285. It also includes support for a packet filtering firewall with ACLs, port mapping, traffic shaping, hooks for remote monitoring (or packet sniffing), an MQTT management interface, simple GPIO interaction, and power management. For a setup with multiple routers in a mesh to cover a larger area a new mode "Automesh" has been included https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater#automesh-mode .

[EPS32 NAT Router](https://github.com/martin-ger/esp32_nat_router) is the advanced project for the *ESP32*.

Measurements show, that it can achieve about 5 Mbps in both directions, so even streaming is possible.
