Rasbperry Pi 3 - how disable Wifi?

  • Hello ,


    i just got a fancy new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+,


    and trying to figure out how to disable WiFi with Libreelec installed?


    Please let me know how to do it.


    this post here seem suggest to go to /boot/config.txt but it does not seem present in libreelec.

    /boot/config.txt

    How do I turn off wifi? - Raspberry Pi Forums


    thank you


    it says


    Code
     rfkill list
    0: hci0: bluetooth
    	Soft blocked: no
    	Hard blocked: no
    1: phy0: wlan
    	Soft blocked: yes
    	Hard blocked: no


    however, i would like both Bluetooth + Wiùfi "HardBlocked" as best as possible, thanks.

  • thank you,


    that was helpful, now it reads

    after

    Code
    # Disable Wifi
    dtoverlay=disable-wifi


    Code
    rfkill list
    0: hci0: bluetooth
    	Soft blocked: no
    	Hard blocked: no


    and aftwer adding the line for bluetooth


    Code
    dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

    the reading says


    Code
     rfkill list
    LibreELEC:~ # 


    however, when compared to Raspberry Pi1 , the RF reader gives still rather high reading, even with WiFi and Bluetooth OFF, so i would say mission only partly accomplished.


    Is there not a BIOS switch to disable more properly the WiFi+Bluetooth?


    EDIT> it seems the reading is comparable to the Raspberry Pi1 after the switchOFF of WiFi+Bluetooth, so would like to retract the prior statement of higher readings<

    but still , it is nowhere an ideal solution.
