Change SoftAP IP Address to something other than 192.168.0.1

Firmware

Hi Community,

I’m wondering there is a API exposed to change the SoftAP local host IP address to something else like 192.168.10.1 rather than 192.168.0.1.

The non-tech users might forget to connect to the AP first and try to go to 192.168.0.1 and that leads to their router setting page. They might get confused and that’s a bad user experience.

Thank you very much!

I believe it is in the code, if I’m looking at it right, on mine it shows the URL, as: “192.168.0.1”

(const char script_js[] = "var base_url='http://192.168.0.1/)

I can’t change and test right now as I’m waiting for some more photons to come in.

@codemonkeyboris, the same thing will happen if someone setup their router at 192.168.10.1! Granted that most routers come pre-configured for 192.168.0.1 but getting the AP page is a good indication that you haven’t connected to the devices AP!

No the base_url is just a variable used for concatenate urls. I guess it might be something in the System Firmware setting this.
