WiFi router using arduino?

Question

Arduino

Greetings.
The essence of the problem. You need a small, compact and preferably a standalone device that will distribute wifi in the public domain, receive the mac address of the device when connected, and display a mandatory welcome page. There is a wifi router with internet connection, lan cable. Is the arduino module suitable for such purposes?

Answer 1

Arduino does not know wifi.
esp8266 knows wifi, it can be connected to arduino, but in fact, esp8266 has enough brains to immediately start a web server, and an arduino is not needed.

But for starters, I would advise you to take a closer look at the router (google its capabilities), it is very likely that you can set up a web server directly on the router, and you don’t need to nothing extra to connect.

Answer 2

Esp 8266 will do. The arduino itself does not have a wifi radio module
