Hi Jaykay,

Thanks for being part of the community! If this is still a concern, could you let us know a bit more about what you’re looking for? Are you wanting the device to not broadcast its WiFi network while plugged in, or something else? We’ll be able to better offer support once we get some more detail. Thank you!

For security reasons / lack of wpa3 support, i need to take the device offline and access the data over the serial connection only. How do completely disable wifi, including the AP mode?

Hi sidjohn1,

We do have a custom firmware version that should be able to address this concern. We don’t generally recommend it, as a lot of manual intervention is required whenever WiFi troubleshooting is needed for your sensor. That being said, you can email in at contact@purpleair.com and we can help you out with this. Thanks!
