Disable pNode WiFi

@Peter How do you disable the WiFi on a pNode to run only on ethernet?

Hi @JG20, did you try to re-plug the Node? There might be an internet interruption overtime.

Hi @Peter. What do you mean “re-plug”? I have all the pNodes connected via ethernet. Just wondering if the broadcast itself could be disabled.

Hi @JG20, I remember that you have some Nodes set up via Ethernet, some Nodes set up via Wi-Fi app.
1/ If it was set up via Ethernet, the hotspot will not be turned off. There is a manual way to turn it off as below:
a/ Detect its IP in the local network
b/ Send your wifi information to the Node by this command:

http://ip:5000/change-wifi?qrcode=<>&ssid=&password=<>

For example, 192.168.1.1 is my Node IP, 1234-567890 is my QR code, home is my SSID, and 12345678 is my wifi password:
=> http://192.168.1.1:5000/change-wifi?qrcode=1234-567890&ssid=home&password=12345678

2/ If it was set up via the Wi-Fi app, re-plug the Node would be helpful. In the case, your Wi-Fi information is changed (i.e: SSID/ password is changed), the Node’s hotspot will be up again. You might need to update it manually like above steps.

Hi Peter, for the pNode, is there any way to remove saved username and password of the wifi?

Hi @The13oy, I believe that there is no way to remove the saved Wi-Fi username/ password on your ends. However, you can overwrite it by using the above command:
http://ip:5000/change-wifi?qrcode=<>&ssid=&password=<>

What happens with your current Wi-Fi then?
