[SOLVED] esp8266 as AP when I don't want it

Issues and Errors
1

I’ve got a basic sketch that literally only has a call to blynk.begin and yet once the module is running a new wireless AP appears and I can connect to it from my other devices.

How do I disable this AP?

2

WiFi.mode(m): set mode to WIFI_AP, WIFI_STA, WIFI_AP_STA or WIFI_OFF

You need to set it to WIFI_STA before blynk begin

thanks.

I’m just getting started with the esp8266 and blynk. Is starting up as an AP normal, or was that setting somehow burned into the chip when I used this unit as an AP.

to elaborate, I did have a sketch running that set this unit up as an AP (I was experimenting with the samples) and have since replaced it with a bare-bones blynk sketch.

hi,
i think the esp modules remember the last used settings and try to startup and use that.
it s probably worth being explicit on startup about the mode you want to leave your esp in

Thanks. Worked perfectly
