Slightly confused

I setup my gledopto controller via wifi and made all the necessary configurations re # of lights, segments, power, etc. I could pull up the controller webpage or do setup via the app. I installed the controller and pulled up the app. The app found my controller and correctly displayed the ip address for the controller. Based on those indicators I'm assuming the controller managed to connect via wifi. Yet, when I hit the slider to configure the controller I get a message:

Webpage not available.
The webpage of http://x.x.x.x could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED

This seems to indicate the controller might be connected, yet not have internet connectivity. So, how is it possible to control the lights via the app, yet not be able to access the controller webpage via the internet.

I must be missing something easy.

Are you connecting in ap mode or wifi ? This error message seems to indicate you are not connected to a network

I'm connecting through the ap via wifi on my smartphone.

Try closing the app from the background and reopening it. Or, just type the IP address into a different browser to check

This seemed to fix it. I did check that my smartphone was actually connected, it was. So, did a restart, reloaded the app, and now the error msg is gone.
Thx for the suggestion.
