I have an ESP32 setup in sta+ap mode, but am unable to get an internet connection on the access point side. I have the dns set to googles dns sever (8.8.8.8) and I have the gateway set to the address of my main wifi router. My goal is to turn the ESP32 into a wifi extender. Is this possible?

Whether this is possible with the ESP32 at all, I have no idea, but unfortunately with MicroPython it's going to be hard.
To be a wifi extender you need to be an ethernet bridge. But MicroPython only provides you with an IP-level API.

Hello from Peru :
This is my first post.... Thanks for bringing the power of Python to these boards !!!!!
Probably the best option is to have ** 2 ** ESP32s.
One will act as an access point and the other will be connected to the Internet.
Both boards will be connected and transfer the data back and forward ( ** not sure how exactly ** )
Comments ??
Cheers !!
