Hey, great library, works very well. Just one thing I noticed. I am using the non blocking method of connection and can get it to connect to my Wifi as it should. After connection is successful though, the ESP8266 is showing up on my other devices as an available WiFi network under the name "ESP_826909".

Is there a way to hide this and/or disable the ESP8266 from broadcasting as a Wifi Network once the connection is made?

I am using the development branch.

set wifi mode in your sketch to sta, sometimes the ap is the default or gets saved to memory
