Hi.
It is the default IP address for the ESP32/ESP8266 when they are in access point mode.

Thanks … just found a reference which explains: “The network established by softAP will have default IP address of 192.168.4.1. This address may be changed using softAPConfig"

So, applying softAPConfig(local_ip, gateway, subnet) will assign it in a more obvious way (e.g. 192.168.1.200, 192.168.4.1, 255.255.0.0 would make the code more easily understood).

..this issue can be closed.
