Pico W

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.26.0 on 2025-08-09; Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040

Reproduction

1. Create a WLAN in IF_AP mode and set IP (and subnet, GW, DNS, etc) via WLAN.ifconfig
2. Confirm that ifconfig() returns the expected parameters
3. Conclude that the exposed IP address (incl DHCP range etc) when connecting clients to the AP remains the default 192.168.4.1

Expected behaviour

Expected the exposed DHCP gateway address and range to follow the set parameters, instead of the default 192.168.4.1

Observed behaviour

DHCP gateway address and range remain 192.168.4.1

Additional Information

(!) Do ensure ifconfig() is called áfter activating the WLAN, as otherwise it will definitely reset to the default settings, confirmed by printing them. So WLAN.active(true), then WLAN.ifconfig(...)
