Cannot disable wifi

[Beemer]

After connecting ether net I want to disable 5gz WiFi. However in Settings despite what it says in the manual there is no menu item to let me do this?

In WiiM Home app I see my two WiiM Pro. At the bottom I see:
Browse Device Search Settings
Pressing Device does nothing
Pressing settings I see:
FAQ
Feedback
User manual
Release notes
Roadmap
Shop
Rate our app
WiiM forum

So there is no Network status.

Got it now! thanks

So what was it?

Not sure why this really old thread is being resurrected, but ok, I'll bite

'Settings' used to be what the '... More' menu option is now called, causing a little confusion between that and the cog icon device settings.

Because I still don't know how to disable wifi and BT

WiFi should be disabled when you plug in an ethernet cable, but you can’t turn off BT.

I'm chiming in here because I'm encountering a similar inability to disable Wi-Fi.

WiiM Pro, Pixel 6 Pro, ethernet cable into a reliable switch, can ping the device, showing Ethernet connected.

WiFi constantly shows up as it's own AP, can't figure out how to turn it off. Everything is on the latest firmware and app versions, no option appears in the Android app - or I can't find it. Also, does the "open" in the UniFi display truly mean that this is unsecured and fully "open"?

I appreciate any ideas and assistance.

I'm 99% sure that Wiim Pro A186 said is one the wiim uses for device set-up, similar to a chromecast device broadcasting a ssid for set-up.

I can see what you are saying, because my Nest Mini/Google Home speakers do generate a WiFi AP when they are disconnected from the wireless, but once connected they no longer have an "open" AP of any type.

Since it's wired in, do I need to also connect it to the wireless, and then perhaps it will stop this solo AP issue?

If the WiiM device AP still showing after setup it may look like the setup isn't completed.

I have my WiiM devices connected by Ethernet and I don't see any of their APs.

It certainly looks odd, may need to reset the device.

Off topic, but I've been seeing some strange glitches in Ultra recently (probably since the last update) from time to time. Today the album art did not show up in WHA when playing from Alexa. (A reboot solved the problem.)

Edit : Well, this is really off topic since this is a Pro thread.

I originally set my wiim pro for ethernet but at some point it switched to a Wi-Fi connection on it own. I would like to disable the Wi-Fi connection and get back to ethernet. I have ethernet cable plugged into wiim pro and have gone through all the settings but can't get it to switch back from Wi-Fi to ethernet. Does anyone know how to lose the Wi-Fi and get back to ethernet? Thanks

There used to be an on/off toggle for Wi-Fi, but I don't think there is now. there may be a problem with the LAN cable connection. Please try replacing the LAN cable as well.

It should switch to Ethernet as soon as an active cable is interested.

Don't your network input change name to "Ethernet"?

 

[tgibbs007]

No, input continues to say Wi-Fi. I will try a new lan cable this weekend but I don't think that's my problem but it's a good idea to rule out. Thanks

On the router or switch where you plug in the cable, do you see any traffic for the connection? Normally there is a flashing light (green).

 

[tgibbs007]

The lan cable is plugged into a switch that is also supplying Internet to TV and such. I'll need to spend a little time to figure out which cable is going to what then I could see if light is flashing. I'll try to check it out this weekend

Have you rebooted the player since it switched to WiFi?
