+Along with connecting to an existing Wifi network, Tessel 2 can also act as a portable router and emit a custom Wifi network. We can use this functionality to connect directly with our Tessel through a web browser. By the end of this article, we'll be able to control the Tessel LEDs through a web app served by the Tessel.
+
+In your command line, make a folder for your Tessel code, then initialize a Tessel project in that folder by running each of the following commands in the terminal:
+
+`mkdir tessel-router`
+
+`cd tessel-router`
+
+`t2 init`
+
+Great! Now you're set up to run code on Tessel. Your "tessel-router" folder now contains a "package.json" with some metadata Node uses for your project, and a file called "index.js".
+
+
+
+
+
+
+"index.js" contains code to make the blue and green LEDs blink. We're going to replace that with our server setup. Let's take a look:
+
+{% highlight javascript %}
+// Import the interface to Tessel hardware
+var tessel = require('tessel');
+// Load the http module to create an http server.
+var http = require('http');
+
+// Configure our HTTP server to respond with "Hello from Tessel!" to all requests.
+var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
+ response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
+ response.end("Hello from Tessel!\n");
+});
+
+// Listen on port 8080, IP defaults to 192.168.1.101
+server.listen(8080);
+
+// Put a friendly message on the terminal
+console.log("Server running at http://192.168.1.101:8080/");
+
