Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1450

In my application I want the portal to appear until it times out, if the Wi-Fi credential are saved but its unable to reconnect then I want to continue in an offline mode.

The problem is, I can't seem to see how to stop it trying to reconnect forever. It used to work fine, but I have opened a 3 year old project and functionality seems to have moved on somewhat - which is great.

I tried disconnect etc.

Still keep getting

no network found, reconnect after 1s
reconnect
scandone

which appears to be from the manager.

The timeout is set. It does timeout. And my mainloop begins, but it keeps trying to reconnect continually according to the debug output.

Yeah that an ESP thing, ESP.setAutoReconnect(false) or just setMode(WIFI_OFF)

its an 8266 does have either of those methods, however it does have WiFi.mode(WIFI_OFF);
so trying that.

Thanks for the help, I couldn't see where those messages are coming from, I searched my code and he WIFI manager code but couldn't get it to stop. The reason it matters is because its a sensor that will normally be on WIFI but if it can't connect then I want the output on serial port - and obviously random messages I don't need!
