More Information.

The demo default setting assuming that esp32 http server is a station, but a server should not be AP for devices to connect? Is I selected a wrong demo or incorrect configure?
The board what I using is esp32c3.

[nopnop2002]

flash the program, the board shoule be a wifi AP

No.
This sample does not have the WiFi AP-MODE function.
It will always be in WiFi STA-MODE.
You will need to specify the router's SSID and password.
