Imilab ec4 hub creates an open wifi network

[philosopher]

Hi all
I have set up an ec4 camera and its hub on my network, successfully.

All works OK, but I realised the hub creates an open (no password) wifi network (name starts with "adh_").
We can actually connect on it and use the internet...
There's no option anywhere, anyone knows how to turn this off?
I'm becoming a free wifi provider of the neighbourhood...

LOL i have the same! ITS INSANE! BUG OR TROJAN?? HOW TO DISABLE IT? ANYONE?

Turns out the hub just needs a restart (or two) @jg2302
Probably a temp network they create on setup, to enable sync of the camera with the hub, or whatever.

Nah, keeps coming back. I restart the hub, the open network disappears for a while, then it comes back. BTW anyone knows the WiFi password of the other hub network (chuangmi-hub-xxxxx)?

Same here. Any suggested fix?
My imilab hub also cannot connect to my wifi 2.4 Ghz

did you manage to find a solution? this is what happened to me.

I've spoken with the imilab support. They told me they are working on a firmware fix about this issue. No timeplan shared

Updated firmware to the latest version. Restarted device and open network reappeared again..

The firmware version with the fix is not yet available. Let's hope it will be ready soon

one more finding. with this latest update. Open network remains unavailable until I try to connect smart hub to wifi. After connection fails then this open network appears. i had to restart hub for two times, now open network not available, for last 2 hours at least.
update: imilab responded that they are working on this problem. lets wait for fix.
