Model: Onion Omega2 and Omega2+ Revision R1 Firmware 0.1.9 (b149)

Same here with Onion Omega2+. I have setup the WIFI through the Serial port with command line "wifisetup". If I try to disable the AP Mode through the web console, it clear the WIFI config and lose the connection. Have to redo the WIFI config again through the serial port.

I try with both the firmware that came with it 0.1.5 (Not sure of the version), update to the stable version 0.1.9 (b149) but it still didn't work. I give a chance with the development version 0.1.9 (b150) but still no go.

Definitely something with the wifisetup command line and web console that are not in sync/writing the same config.

I didnt test yet to configure one from the AP Mode via IP 192.168.1.3 but I try later this week.

Same problem.

br-wlan   Link encap:Ethernet   (Access Point)
          inet addr:192.168.3.1  Bcast:192.168.3.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  ( 
          inet addr:192.168.1.14  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

http call is equivalent to : _uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliEnable=1_ After reload network, that disable the wrong interface "apcli0" instead of br-wlan

Same for me. I unticked Enable AP mode in Wi-Fi Access Point Setup, but there is still an access point.

This still seems to be an issue still? Any work around to disable AP only without disabling all WiFi?

The issue is still there (version 0.3.2 build 228).

I only worked with a wireless connection and can't say how will it behave with a wired one, but I have no reason to believe that there should be any difference.

The only way to disable AP that I found working is to shutdown ra0 interface. But you have to do it after the client connection is made. So you boot with AP enabled, wait for the client connections to be established, and then you can shutdown the AP without side effects.

I used ifconfig ra0 down to turn it off.

I didn't find any other way to do it in configuration.

It also seems they have the ra0 interface hardcoded deep in the driver and supporting scripts (like this).
