STA or AP mode browser unable to connect to ESP8266-12

Sat 2017.02.25

The Espruino page on Internet has numerous examples

but only when connected as a station. It is also required to be able to connect via code or a command in the WebIDE left panel.

I'm still struggling with connecting to the ESP8266-12 using a 192.168.4.1 request only from the browser in ap mode. The browser never connects and times out.

This site can’t be reached

192.168.4.1 took too long to respond.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

I have been successful at connecting as a station and using wifi.getAPIP(), wifi.getAPDetails(), wifi.getIP(), wifi.getStatus() (see post #1 above) to view the status while viewing responses from the browser when in station mode. A request of 192.168.4.1 is never recognized in ap mode as seen by wifi.getStatus()

Even tried forcing the IP

var settings = {ip:'192.168.4.1',gw:'192.168.1.254',net­mask:'255.255.255.0'};
wifi.setAPIP(settings, setTimeout(function(){http.createServer(­pageHandler).listen(80);},300));

but found function setAPIP() is not available in

and the module I have wont accept a (re)flash of 1v91 http://forum.espruino.com/comments/13481­959/

I have used Chrome's suggestion to to verify there is no proxy server set and made sure the LAN setting 'Automatically detect settings' is set.

I have turned off the firewall and disabled anti-virus during testing.

Currently at a loss for other ideas to test out.
