The internal addresses 192.168.240.x cannot work, as they are NATed and invisible to the outside world. However, you should be able to ping the external STA address of the ESP...

Actually, the main problem is not the power of the ESP but the speed of the serial connection. An ESP8266 can handle more than 5 mbps.

I am not aware that the serial driver supports RTS/CTS. Maybe somebody knows or I would have to dig deeper into it. Currently I will hardly find the time for...

That's great news! Thank you for digging around! I will mention that in the Readme.

You use the ESP as AP? I think, you have to set up NAT routing on the Linux as well, so that it forwards packets coming from the SLIP interface...

The first Problem is the fact, that it does NAT (even two times in this setup). So STAs cannot be reached actively from the internet in any case. However, the...

If not already done, you definitly also have to change the IP-Address of one of the SLIP interfaces: default is 192.168.240.1 for both, that will obviously fail.

If it has flashed correctly, you have to connect to it using this procedure: https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_slip_router#usage-as-sta Connection is via SLIP, not via serial console.

It seems that you are working on windows. Do you really have a SLIP setup on windows? If so, how does it lool like?

It might be the "puya-issue" - see also: https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater/issues/336 Do you have any chance to test it with a different module, let's say a Wemos D1 mini?
