Change ESP32 softAP default IP address

[fbautista]

Hi,

I am new to esp32 development. Just wondering if there is a function i can use to change the default gateway ip (192.168.4.1) of the ESP32 softAP mode to something else? I only see a way to do this from the Arduino Wifi.h library, i.e. Wifi.softAPConfig(). Is there a native esp-idf function that I can use?

Thanks

In general, ESP32 Arduino builds on esp-idf, so everything you can do in Arduino, you can somehow do in esp-idf.

In this case, I think you can set the IP with tcpip_adapter_set_ip_info. You probably want to do this before bringing up the SoftAP.

I am also looking for a solution to this problem.
I have tried WiFi.softAPConfig() but could not make it work.
I have tried the tcpip_adapter_set_ip_info() function, it compiles but I get Runtime errors like :-

Is it just me or is the esp-idf not well explained ?

Thank you sir. I got it working using esp_netif_set_ip_info().

Code: Select all

    esp_netif_init();
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_loop_create_default());
    esp_netif_t* wifiAP = esp_netif_create_default_wifi_ap();
    esp_netif_ip_info_t ip_info;
    esp_netif_ip_info_t ipInfo;
    IP4_ADDR(&ipInfo.ip, 192,168,2,1);
	IP4_ADDR(&ipInfo.gw, 192,168,2,1);
	IP4_ADDR(&ipInfo.netmask, 255,255,255,0);
	esp_netif_dhcps_stop(wifiAP);
	esp_netif_set_ip_info(wifiAP, &ipInfo);
	esp_netif_dhcps_start(wifiAP);


    wifi_init_config_t cfg = WIFI_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_init(&cfg));

    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_handler_register(WIFI_EVENT, ESP_EVENT_ANY_ID, &wifi_event_handler, NULL));

    wifi_config_t wifi_config = {
        .ap = {
            .ssid = EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_SSID,
            .ssid_len = strlen(EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_SSID),
            .password = EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_PASS,
            .max_connection = EXAMPLE_MAX_STA_CONN,
            .authmode = WIFI_AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK
        },
    };
    if (strlen(EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_PASS) == 0) {
        wifi_config.ap.authmode = WIFI_AUTH_OPEN;
    }

    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_AP));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(ESP_IF_WIFI_AP, &wifi_config));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_start());

As usual, I do not understand how this system works.... as I have already stated I am a newbie.

When I enter the above code it says
"CGM_testAP:23:18: error: 'esp_netif_init' was not declared in this scope"

So, a search of all my libraries could Not find any occurance of esp_netif_init().

So how do you get the above code to work ?
Help please.
