ESP8266 Wifi configuration - arduino

Question

I had a Node MCU module as shown in the photo.
My nodemcu
I had this tutorial from this link:Tutorial link
I had a problem with WIFI Configuring which from the code I had online it should be working with the browser 192.168.4.1 as shown as below. But with my LoLin NodeMCU V3 I cant reach to the browser page and always show the connection has timed out. Can I know is it my NodeMCU module problem?
p.s.
The wifi connection work well with hardcoding but not WIFI configuration)
The Module i found there is slightly different from normal Nodemcu with a yellow component on it.
I used ARDUINO IDE to compile and upload.
proper result with the browser for wifi configuration

I had tried several times with the code provided online but same results came out with the browser couldnt work.

Answer 1

Be sure to first connect to AP ElectronnicsInnovation and type "http://192.168.4.1" in browser address.
(https - by default - don't works).
I try your code on esp8266 and it works fine.
