How to turn off Hotspot Mode

Don't need the Hotspot dashboard anymore? Turning it off is one tap. Your Wi-Fi keeps working exactly as before — the dashboard just disappears from your app.

Works on Android & iOS

Tap "Disable hotspot" on the dashboard

Open the Hotspot dashboard for the site you want to disable.

Scroll to the Manage section. Tap the bottom-right tile: Disable hotspot — Turn off the dashboard.

Why might you turn this off? If your café closed, the season's over, or you just don't want to manage Wi-Fi customers anymore. Hotspot Mode is a feature you opt into — turning it off makes the app simpler again.

Read the warning, then confirm

The app asks "Turn off hotspot mode?" with this important note:

"This hides the hotspot dashboard. Your Wi-Fi network and password stay the same — nothing on the router changes."

That's the key thing to know. Turning off Hotspot Mode does not:

• Change your Wi-Fi password
• Disconnect any device
• Turn off your internet
• Affect any granted timers

It just removes the dashboard from your app view. Tap Turn off hotspot mode to confirm.

If you wanted to actually change the password too, use the Wi-Fi password tutorial instead. That's a separate action.

Turn off hotspot mode?

This hides the hotspot dashboard. Your Wi-Fi network and password stay the same — nothing on the router changes. You can turn hotspot mode back on any time from Site Detail.

You're back at Site Detail — Enable button reappears

After disabling, the app takes you back to the Site Detail page for that site.

The Hotspot Mode card now shows Off, with an Enable button. Anyone using your Wi-Fi continues using it — nothing changes for them.

If you want to turn Hotspot Mode back on later, just tap Enable from this same card. You'll go through the password rotation flow again, and your dashboard returns.

Active timers when you disable? If you had time-based grants running for customers when you turned off hotspot mode, those grants quietly stop being managed by the app — the customer's device stays connected (because their device is still allowed on the Wi-Fi), but no auto-cutoff happens at the timer's end. So if you've sold paid Wi-Fi sessions, finish them out before you disable.
