Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/641

I am using Nodemcu.

Autoconnect("appp").

It creates a network. But when I connect to it sometimes I am not able to open config portal. Then I need to restart Nodemcu.

I am using the latest version of WifiManager.

I commented captive portal stuff in the library and I feel it is working fine then.

captive portal was breaking your connection?

Don't know.

Even after disabling captive portal I could not open 192.168.4.1
When I open 192.168.4.1 "Handle root " is printed on serial monitor, but the page is not loaded.
Then I need to restart my board ( NODEMCU , esp01)

[ SOLVED ]
In the startConfigPortal function I changed the Wifi mode from AP_STA to AP.
It worked..
I think the problem is when more networks are present in our location and WIFI is in AP_STA mode then it would take long time to handle requests.
