Auto AP but still on WiFi list

Post by PD0Y »

I don't understand it.
AUTO AP is set to OFF but the Pi-Star-Setup is still on the WiFi list when I do a scan on my mobile.
Any help is welcome.

Have you saved ("apply changes") AND rebooted the R-Pi? Making changes on the config page doesn't, I believe, cause changes in active WiFi settings.

Code: Select all

Auto AP: 	On Off 	Note: Reboot Required if changed
{If the Auto AP is the default name -- have you confirmed you don't have a neighbor with a hotspot :o }

auto ap wifi should only be visible to other devices if the hotspot is not connected to any other network.
