The default 192.168.0.0 network works well for the wizard's IP addresses
and is easy to remember. There's confusion, though, when devices have
WiFi adapters that can run in both AP and station mode at the same time.
During the test step of connecting to an AP, if the network being tested
is also on the 192.168.0.0 subnet, then there will be two 192.168.0.0
networks. To minimize the chance of this, it's now possible to set the
subnet to something very unlikely to see.

This isn't the default since changing the default would invalidate
configuration instructions for people using the wizard in their
projects.
