I’m gonna have a play with this on the TF360 this weekend...
Good stuff. Looking forward to this.

Did anybody here managed to get WIFI working, and could give some hints on how to set things up?

There are many ways to do this.
But all the TF330 does is let you talk to the ESP module. You need to choose a TCP/IP stack for the Amiga and then create a dial script for the ESP module.

Thanks, so in practice, I guess there isn't any "easy" solution to connect to a wifi network using the ESP module? It's hard to try anything with no documentation at all.
Did somebody else here get this working and could share some insight?

I got it working using a zmodem esp firmware, roadshow and pppd on a Linux box to route it.
The CF card, ESP module and pi have all gone awol

Sorry to dig out an older thread but I'm I reading this correct that you can add a ESP8266 module to the TF330 as a networking solution?
I can't find much info on this but it sounds interesting. Has a guide ever been pulled together for this?

There isn’t really a guide.
Essentially the ESP module appears on the Amiga serial port...
How you make it work is kinda a software thing from there.

I've had a go at this this afternoon. I got stuck when i tried to make roadshow use SLIP. Doesnt seem to be obvious how to do this.

This post may be low on information but you should configure an interface at devs/netinterfaces to use device=slip.device and then start that interface.

Yeah i tried and got an error. Also roadshow doesnt come with slip.device. I had to hunt for it on aminet.
This maybe an alternative approach for people to get going
