Can't disable AP

[mroch]

I'm having trouble disabling the APs on two wifi/ethernet GEMs.

they are connected over ethernet and in AP mode, using COM 5.13 and ENG 1.49.

when i go to Adv and click Off, it says "Setting AP mode. Wait 8 seconds for execution to complete." and counts down (from 12 ) and the right LED goes off for a few seconds and then comes back orange, but the AP is still broadcasting.

i see in the manual, "You have the option to disable the AP completely when connected to the network using WiFi." how can I just use ethernet?

Have you tried it a few times? It can be a bit of a tricky one to get to latch. Make sure you cycle your WiFi too in case it's not actually there (can you connect to them?).

yeah, i tried at least a dozen times. when i switched to STA mode and connected to wifi instead of ethernet, it disappeared. but i'd like to go back to ethernet

If that's not working (I'm unsure if there's a version of the module where it doesn't work) you can go under AP Settings and hide/secure the AP then remove the antenna or unclip it on the module to kill the range.

both units are from 2015 (the serial i have handy is 01100178). if the module has changed and you think that could be it, is it possible to buy a newer module? or an ethernet-only module?

Under Device Management on the WiFi/Ethernet module there should be a version number there.

I'm having this same issue, I bought my GEM in November of 2021. The version number of my WiFi/Ethernet module is: 6.02T.05

COM: 5.23
ENG: 1.49

The AP Off in Adv settings should work with the newer modules. How do you have it configured?

If all else fails, secure/hide the SSID, unclip the pigtail for the antenna.
