After connecting to configured wifi the AP Station keep active and doesn't shutdown.

Settings in IDE

Module: NodeMcu

Sketch


#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.println("Setup WIFI");
  WiFiManager wifiManager;
  wifiManager.setAPCallback(configModeCallback);
  if (!wifiManager.autoConnect()) {
    Serial.println("failed to connect and hit timeout");
    //reset and try again, or maybe put it to deep sleep
    ESP.reset();
    delay(1000);
  }
  WiFi.hostname(hostname);
  Serial.println("Hostname: " + hostname);
}

void configModeCallback (WiFiManager *myWiFiManager) {
  Serial.println("Entered config mode");
  Serial.println(WiFi.softAPIP());
  //if you used auto generated SSID, print it
  Serial.println(myWiFiManager->getConfigPortalSSID());
}

void loop() {

}

void setup() {
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); // explicitly set mode, esp defaults to STA+AP
