I understand that this is a feature but wondering if it is one that I can disable, by the default when the base is turned on if it can’t find a known wifi it will go to AP mode and open a network for me to connect to which make sense to 99% of users so they don’t get locked out, but can I change it so if it won’t connect to a network go to off mode instead of AP mode? my usage is over ethernet and the wifi AP just spam the 2.4Ghz band.
you can disable both Wi-Fi and hotspot option in Emlid Flow. Go to Wi-Fi, scroll down, and click the “Turn off” option. Wi-Fi and hotspot option will stay disabled till the next reboot.
You’re right – such a setup could cause difficulties, so Wi-Fi always restores after a unit’s reboot. It’s needed to easily connect to the receiver, access the Reach Panel functionality, including logs downloading, and receive firmware updates if there’s Internet access.
