Interesting Project: Turn Wired Ethernet into Wi-Fi HotSpot with just an ESP32-POE-ISO!

https://olimex.wordpress.com/2026/06/01/interesting-project-turn-ethernet-poe-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot-with-esp32-poe-iso/

This open-source project transforms an ESP32-POE or ESP32-POE-ISO into a compact Wi-Fi NAT router, allowing you to create a wireless hotspot from a wired Ethernet connection while powering everything via PoE.

✅ Ethernet → Wi-Fi NAT
✅ Powered over Ethernet (PoE)
✅ Arduino-based
✅ Open Source

Default AP:
📶 SSID: OLIMEX-ESP32-POE-ISO
🔑 Password: 12345678

Debug page:
🌐 http://192.168.4.1/

A handy solution for IoT, industrial deployments, remote installations, and any project where you need Wi-Fi from a wired network without adding a dedicated router.
