My ISP uses 192.168.4.1 as the router gateway, and I can't change it. These are eero routers with an app to control, no browser interface to my knowledge.
I am including the ESP32 sketch for WiFiAccessPoint, including the output. I then asked ChatGPT for advice and got some code that looks reasonable to someone not trained in networks. I modified the original sketch to use the ChatGPT code, but there was no change. I am not network trained, so I might be missing something simple. Any ideas?
/*
WiFiAccessPoint.ino creates a WiFi access point and provides a web server on it.
Steps:
1. Connect to the access point "yourAp"
2. Point your web browser to http://192.168.4.1/H to turn the LED on or http://192.168.4.1/L to turn it off
OR
Run raw TCP "GET /H" and "GET /L" on PuTTY terminal with 192.168.4.1 as IP address and 80 as port

Here is response to typing 192.168.4.1 in a browser
Here is ChatGPT code
#include <WiFi.h> // For ESP32
// #include <ESP8266WiFi.h> // For ESP8266 instead
const char* ssid = "MyESP_AP";
const char* password = "12345678";
