disabling Wifi in setup() reduces current consumption which is what I need.

How can I prevent WIFI from being active after boot?

Thanks,
Peter

the point is that right after power-on I see from the current consumption that WIFI is enabled. Then when Arduino setup() is running I'm able to switch WIFI off. This is discussed in the mentioned link.

My question is where WIFI gets enabled and whether I can disable it altogether until I really need it. My goal is to boot with low current consumption.

Thanks,
Peter
