Turning Off WiFi on Vera 3 with UI7

I am not finding the option to turn off wireless with IU7 - the older version had the option to rename, change WEP/WPA2 or turn it off…

From the menu selection on the left side of the screen, select “Settings” and then “Net and WiFi”. On the configuration page now shown to you will be a heading titled “How does Vera connect to the internet?” Under that heading, check the box to “Manually configure (advanced)”. The options for management of the Vera WiFi interface will then be shown.

Unfortunately, whenever I select the “Manually configure” option (at least in 7.0.3 and 7.0.4) I lose local access to Vera. It’s as if the “Secured” option is turned on. Has anyone found a work-around to this bug?

In UI6, they neglected to include a way to turn Wifi completely off. UI7 may also have this issue.

What I do on UI6 is to include the following statement in my LUA Start Up Code section (Apps, Develop Apps, Lua Startup Code):

os.execute("wifi down")

UI6 may have had this problem, but UI7 does not. I described the correct way to disable the Vera3 UI7 WiFi interface in my previously posted message.

There is no “bug”. Just below the button used to select “Manually configure”, you will see a setting for “Firewall”. From its drop-down box you need to select “Firewall disabled” in order to allow local access to your Vera3. The only “bug” if you want to call it that, is that anyone on your local LAN now has access to the Vera3 and this cannot be altered.
