The AutoConnect menu appears when you access the **AutoConnect root path**. It is assigned "**/_ac**" located on the *local IP address* of ESP8266/ESP32 module by default. This location can be changed in the sketch. The following screen will appear at access to `http://{localIP}/_ac` as the root path. This is the statistics of the current WiFi connection. You can access the menu from the here, to invoke it tap <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> at right on top. (e.g. `http://192.168.244.1/_ac` for SoftAP mode.)

!!! note "What's the local IP?"
|

A local IP means Local IP at connection established or SoftAP's IP.

Currently, AutoConnect supports four menus. Undermost menu as "HOME" returns to the home path of its sketch.
|
|
|
|
- **Configure new AP**: Configure SSID and Password for new access point.
|
|
- **Open SSIDs**: Opens the past SSID which has been established connection from EEPROM.
|
|
- **Disconnect**: Disconnects current connection.
|
|
- **Reset...**: Rest the ESP8266/ESP32 module.
|
|
- **HOME**: Return to user home page.

## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Configure new AP
|
|
|
|
Scan all available access point in the vicinity and display it. Strength and security of the detected AP are marked. The <i class="fa fa-lock"></i> is indicated for the SSID that needs a security key. "**Hidden:**" means the number of hidden SSIDs discovered.
|
|
Enter SSID and Passphrase and tap "**apply**" to starts WiFi connection.

## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Open SSIDs
|
|
|
|
Once it was established WiFi connection, its SSID and password will be saved in EEPROM of ESP8266/ESP32 automatically. The **Open SSIDs** menu reads the saved SSID credentials from the EEPROM. The stored credential data are listed by the SSID as shown below. Its label is a clickable button. Tap the SSID button, starts WiFi connection it.

|
|
|
|
## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Disconnect
|
|
|
|
Disconnect ESP8266/ESP32 from the current connection. It can also reset the ESP8266/ESP32 automatically after disconnection by instructing with using [API](api.md#autoreset) in the sketch.
|
|
|
|
After tapping "Disconnect", you will not be able to reach the AutoConnect menu. Once disconnected, you will need to set the SSID again for connecting the WLAN.
|
|
|
|
## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Reset...
|
|
|
|
Reset the ESP8266/ESP32 module, it will start rebooting. After rebooting complete, the ESP8266/ESP32 module begins establishing the previous connection with WIFI_STA mode, and *esp8266ap* or *esp32ap* of an access point will disappear from WLAN.

!!! warning "Not every ESP8266 module will be rebooted normally"
|
|
The Reset menu is using the **ESP.reset()** function for ESP8266. This is an almost hardware reset. In order to resume the sketch normally, the [state of GPIO0](https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki/Boot-Process#esp-boot-modes) is important. Since this depends on the circuit implementation for each module, not every module will be rebooted normally. See also [FAQ](faq.md#hang-up-after-reset). |
