Disabling Wifi on GEM with Wifi/Ethernet

[jeremyclark]

I purchased and set up a GEM with Wifi/Ethernet as well as a Dashbox, and in the end I decided to just connect the two with the RS232 cable. I'd like to disable the wireless radio on the GEM itself, as it's broadcoasting an SSID "Greeneye_G4" and causing radio interference with my other wireless routers.

Can this be done?

From reading the manual, it seemed to suggest that once you connect to it in AP mode and then set it up to STA mode and give it your wifi SSID and password, etc., that it would then connect to your wireless network and stop broadcasting its own, but every time I configure it, it still seems to broadcast its own SSID and I can always still connect to it and find the GEM at 1.2.3.4 (the suggested IP address in STA mode).

The WiFi AP can't be disabled, but you can hide it and remove the antenna so it can't broadcast.
