Thanks for your post @Acorns and thanks for tagging me @residualimages !
Just discussed this with the team. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent the AP to show up if not connected to the cloud right now.
We tested it on the Bond Bridge Pro and it also broadcasts the Config AP if the connected ETH network doesn’t have internet access.
A “total offline” operation and the reset button change (to bring back the config AP) are on our roadmap for the v3.
Good to mention that we still don’t have a timeframe for the release right now, but we’re already working on it.
