How does one stop ESP from creating an AP when it a Client

Not sure where one would place a question like this -but it network related

but I noticed LUA and Arduino firmwares do not always like to play nice with each other. wondering if anyone would knows why??

If I run LUA firmware on ESP and it works fine run for months and months with out crashing. but as soon as I add ardunio based esp stuff in it causes LUA stuff to crash. take the arduino stuff out all works well again..

I find it weird..


I am guessing

but I think it is because when one programs an esp with Arduino firmware as a client. it also creates an AP at the same time .. how does not stop arduino firmware from creating an AP every time you create a client device. also it is a little bothersome too as it creates a whole bunch of "random" SSIDs one for each esp device created.

not to mention it can be a security risk since as it seams one can log onto the esp with the default password

For Arduino add WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) to setup. This turns off AP mode.
