Request: Add multi access point

[itsjustvenky]

Hi,

This a new feature request. Currently we can only add one SSID/password. How about adding multiple SSID/password (ESP8266WiFiMulti).

This will be really helpful if we are extending the Wifi coverage using another router but with different SSID. (using WDS function on TP-Link routers).

Thanks Venkat

Just a question: why would you use different ssids?

I understand request (make it easy to jump between locations in house / garden...) but can't find it as a proper way. Looks too random to me, I would rather check how hotspots are setup.

@bertmelis I have two wifi networks on each side of home with different SSID's. I need to change SSID in config file, If I move the module to other network/place. So If I have option of adding two SSID's my module will pickup whichever it is available, instead of upload new config, and I think this is exact reason behind the creation of "ESP8266WiFiMulti". thanks.
