ARP ARP isn't generally used the way you described. Per the spec, to resolve an IP address into a MAC address, you broadcast an ARP request for the IP address, and receive a unicast response from the host whose address it is - not a router. It also only resolves a single IP address in one request; it doesn't return the contents of the entire ARP cache.
While you could potentially unicast ARP requests to a router, it's anybody's guess as to whether the router would respond - it's not required to. By spec only the computer who's IP address is being queried should respond - so a router should not unless you've sent it an ARP request for its IP address. You'd also have to send one request for each IP address in the range specified by the LAN's network mask.
You're better off using SNMP SNMP, if the router supports it. SNMP can read the router's entire ARP cache with very little overhead (and very few packet exchanges).
The are SNMP implementations for the ESP32 and ESP8266, but they're likely to be difficult to use. Googling will find them for you.
