Hi

I am switching to wired connection on a Pi 3.

How can I disable the WiFi completely?

If I use the stop button it stops but comes back on reboot.

Have a look at:

> It would appear that by default the emonSD-30Oct2018 sets up the RPi 3B+ WiFi as an access point. I am using Ethernet cable, so I want to disable the WiFi for security reasons.
