BBBW SoftAp disable

Hi’ Ive got 10 BBBW all pretty close together connected over WiFi, and set to use a fixed IP, or direct front access with USB-Ethernet .
However they re all still advertising on WiFi and visible next to Corp network.
I can change the SSID BeagleBone-XXXX - thanks to a previous message from /etc/default/bb-wl18xx

I’m looking to turn the WiFi SoftAp off.

Setting /etc/default/bb-wl18xx
TETHER_ENABLED=no

seems to do it. Just wondering if anybody can see a better way.?

thanks

That's about the best way, /etc/default/bb-wl18xx is sourced by a few
different startup scripts for the out of box experience. so by doing
what you did, you've disabled the auto AP. :wink:
