Can you provide more information about your device?
Also, were you able to connect to it using the correct WiFi address?
I don't really get this part of your explanation:
"The actual device IP address is 192.168.0.106 and I expect the WiFi Connect IP address to be
192.168.0.117:8088."
If your device ip is 192.168.0.106, the WiFi Connect IP should be 192.168.0.106:8088, not 192.168.0.117:8088.
