Partially due to customer demand that it be protected. We went through years of issues, where the AP could not be shut down, or the web UI had no password etc. Some users have their devices on large networks, also , with just the Access Point active, nefarious neighbors or whatever could mess with it, just for the fun of it, as it shows as a discoverable , unsecured SSID.

Edit: In this day and age it is very bad practice not to have something that provides an AP , not password protected.

I was under the apparently mistaken impression that once the unit was configured the AP would no longer be available. Makes it all the more bizarre that there's no reset mechanism. Every router I've ever owned has a switch (generally requiring a paper clip) to reboot in raw factory mode. No reset means this thing is bricked.

1. return your console to Ambient for replacement
2. once the new one paired, protect the http (webbrowser) access with a password (and remember it and only share it wisely if at all) - then nobody else can fiddle with your console
this access will not be via the access point. There may be an option in the WebUI that the AP switches off once connected to the local network (to be tagged).

the device you have can only be reset in the factory - or by somebody who knows its electronics thoroughly.
If Ambient don't want it back, you have a second display - because the RF reception is not impacted  8-)
Call them, tell them that the manufacturer (Fine Offset) recommended the replacement.
Then see what they want you to do ...
