192.168.0.xx is a common local network address range. The 10.1.1.xx range also seems to be a popular one for routers. I'd guess that your router is set up as a local network DHCP server, which means it's allocating addresses to your computers and whatever else is connecting to that network.

So sounds like your computer's IP is 10.1.1.4 and iPhone is 10.1.1.3. That's fine and should be enough to get this working. Let's walk through it.

So if you fire up WiFi Scope, port is 4030, and it connects to your mount? Do you use EQMod or something else?

Now fire up your Sky Safari on your iPhone. Just to be sure, it's at least the Plus version? Go to settings, telescope setup. The Scope Type I used was "Meade LX-200 GPS" even though it isn't (it's really EQMod), it just needs to think this to use the right protocol to talk to WifiScope. Mount type is also set to "Alt-Az GoTo" irrespective of what it really is.

Have "auto-detect skyfi" off, and the IP address you use is the one of your computer, ie sounds like it's 10.1.1.4 although keep in mind this may change in future, because your router DHCP server could change it at any time, usually days later I think. This is the DHCP "lease" time.

Port number needs to match WifiScope which if left defaults should be 4030.

Try all that and see how it goes.
