• Someone was attempting it on here. The approach seemed to be to run the ESP8266 as an Access Point and Station (the default).

    In AP mode the IP address is a known 192.168.4.1.

    A simple webserver hosts a form to accept SSID and password credentials, which can be used as an input to connect to the main Wifi network as a station, if I can find the thread I'll update here.

    Edit: Nothing jumps out in the forum, it might have been a discussion on gitter. But that was the approach taken

  • Thanks @Ollie,

    The key phrase was 'AP Mode' and the default addr of 192.168.4.1

    Was the example you may have seen, the one that MaBe posted at Github, the link in #3 above?

    or . . . . as Google turned up, was this the forum post: AP mode, webserver redirect?

    Still looking for a good networking explanation or wikipedia article . . . .
