Applications start up without automatically starting WiFi. If you don't want it, just don't start it.

Both of the following are used to start and stop the wifi in ESP examples. Look for the start in your code somewhere that is starting it and comment it out or use the stop command when you want to stop it.


esp_err_t results = esp_wifi_start();
esp_err_t results = esp_wifi_stop();

esp_err_t results = esp_wifi_stop();

This worked correctly, thanks!
