Change default IP address AP mode

[nastiliano]

Hello, everyone.

Is not explained clearly how to change the default IP address (192.168.4.1) in AP mode in the Micropython manual. I know is possible but putting this code doesn't work:

wlan = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF)
wlan.ifconfig("192.168.1.1") 
## I tried (  wlan.ifconfig(("192.168.1.1" , "" , "" , ""))  and wlan.ifconfig(("192.168.1.1" , "255.255.255.0" , "192.168.1.1" , "192.168.1.1"))  )
wlan.config(max_clients = 1 , essid = self.ssid , authmode = 3 , password = self.password)
wlan.active(True)

Otherwise in the STATION mode all works:

wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
wlan.ifconfig((self._station_IP , self.subnet_mask , self.gateway_IP , self.gateway_IP))
wlan.config(dhcp_hostname = self.host)
wlan.connect(self.ssid , self.password)

Thank you.

The default IP adress in AP mode seem to be hard define in dhcpserver.c (192.168.4.1).. Try to change it and compile it should work

When i have time i would wrote something in C that you can call in micropython.. it's not complicate

it is plain misleading to provide API for WIFI access point where you can specify IP address, but then always use the same hardcoded IP. :( More so if it is not complicate to fix as the last message states

The solution was, there's no solution...

I coded my program assuming that... sorry
