default Wifi is back even when is disabled

[M-C-M]

Disabling WiFi works till restart / power outage. Later RTL_xxxx-default will show up. Tested on 2.4 Ghz.

Was that problem fixed ?
I'm asking that because I'm planning to test it on two of my WCB3000N that I got from amazon! On the stock firmware I'm able to disable it by a tricky with the HTML to expose the hidden radio stuff to disable it, the LED goes off, and when you power off and on again, the wifi led comes on again, but the radio will still disabled !
Both of WCB3000N that I get from amazon, has a different firmware. One have: v0.16.8.6 and the other one v0.16.8.5

It wasn't resolved. You may need to drop power to minimum to avoid interfence, or put it in the Faraday's cage. M

I upgraded to this firmware 16.8.8, and seems that after a restart / power off the device, the radio is re-ebaled by default, and it says that's off in the config.
The wi-fi led is on after that and you can see an unprotected wifi access point nammed "RTL_xxxx" ...
I did the same test on another device with the official built in firmware 16.8.6 by tricking the browser to show the option to disable the radio, and it seems the same thing happened !
I did try to connect to this unprotected wifi, and seems that doesn't give internet access... not sure if it could be a security issue!

I agree with you. Internet is not there. It's just radio on doing interferences.

I think that they have all these feature hidden like to disable the wifi, because they may have this issue /bug after turn off the radio comes back on, and a new model coming up that was easy to hide these feature instead of fix it, and give more focus on the new product...
