hi, im trying the simple example from wifi manager and when i connect with my android device, it has no problem and gets the ip 192.168.4.3, can connect to 192.168.4.1 and change the settings. but when i try this with my windows laptop it gives me this ip settings:

ip 164.254.145.161
subnet 255.255.0.0
default gateway: none

it wont connect to 192.168.4.1 unless i manually set a static ip like this:

ip 192.168.4.4
subnet 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.4.1

i have noticed my laptop is very slow to connect while phones are completely ok... but it always got the ip
