This is a firmware to use the ESP32 as WiFi NAT router. It routes between the network of the AP interface and the STA or ETH interface as uplink network. It can also work as a VPN router using WireGuard as uplink.

If you have a **W32-ET01 board** and you are looking for a plain ESP32 **Ethernet AP**, or correctly for an **Ethernet to WiFi Layer 2 Bridge**, check out [esp32_eth_wifi_bridge](https://github.com/martin-ger/esp32_eth_wifi_bridge). If you are looking for an ESP32 router with reverse direction, i.e. **WiFi STA as uplink** (Internet) and **Ethernet as downlink** (LAN), check out [esp32_ethernet_router](https://github.com/martin-ger/esp32_ethernet_router).

The maximum number of simultaniously connected WiFi clients is 8 (5 on the ESP32c3) due to RAM limitations (uses about 5KB per client). Each of the features: Web Interface, PCAP Capture, Wireguard VPN, Remote Console, WPA Enterprise and MQTT Home Assistant require several KB of additional RAM. So using all of them at once will probably burst the ESP32's ressources. Unused/disabled features are optimized for minimal to no RAM usage. Have a look at remaining heap size if in doubt.

The code is originally based on the [Console Component](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/console.html#console) and the [esp-idf-nat-example](https://github.com/jonask1337/esp-idf-nat-example).

After first boot the ESP32 NAT Router will offer a WiFi network with an open AP and the ssid "ESP32_NAT_Router". Configuration can either be done via a web interface or via the serial console.
