Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If your main AP goes offline, then the ESP start broadcasting an open unprotected SSID.
If the ESP is properly connected to your AP, it remains broadcasting a hidden SSID anyway.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see an option to completely disable the ESP "AP mode" for security.

I realise that this would mean if I needed to get access to the ESP and for any reason and it will not longer connect to my wireless AP, I would need to reflash it and start again. I'm ok with that.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

This improves the security.

Nobody has to enable the proposed new "switch off" AP mode, only if they want to, and, I want to.
