Can not stop access point

I'm using CicuitPython V8.1 on a Raspberry Pi Pico W. I import wifi.radio and use radio.start_ap() to start an access point, but from radio.stop_ap() I get:

NotImplementedError: Stopping AP is not supported.

I can reset with microprocessor.reset() but that's kind of drastic. How do I stop the access point?

Solution

  • I also faced the same frustration but came back to it with a clear head this morning. This worked for me, but I've only just done it once.

    1. Ensure nothing is connected to the AP (your phone etc.)
    2. Restart the board

    The board should now be in Station Mode by default.
