Hi.
When the ESP32 is in access point mode, it acts as a router (that doesn’t connect further to the internet).
So, when you connect your smarpthone to the ESP32, you can only access the webserver page served by the ESP32. There’s no access to the internet.

I hope this answers your question.
Let me know if you need further help.

Regards,
Sara

I think what Syukri is asking (I have the same problem) is that while the smartphone is connected to the ESP32 WiFi hotspot, it seems to disable cellular data so for example, it is not possible to surf the web or check your email while you are simultaneously using the ESP32. In my case, I am using an Android phone. I have tried unsuccessfully to solve this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Tenho usado AP faz tempo sem problema, só que agora não consigo conectar na SSID que configuro ele sempre aparece a ultima SSID(AP) que conectei ou uma SSID que não conheco, mas conecta nela sem eu digitar senha

Hi.
You need to connect your device (computer or smartphone) to the ESP32 Wi-Fi Network. Go to the Wi-Fi settings, and connect to your eSP32 network.
Then, you can access the web server.

Sara

Do you know what might be the issue?

Sorry, this problem was not related to your software. I had to remove the IDE AND delete all the related files in the AppData folder and then reinstall the IDE. Just reinstall was not enough.

That’s great.

Hi.
Did you install the ESP32 boards?
Which version?

Sara

The wifi library is installed, I checked that. Futher information beside this line is not given.
