After extensive discussion on the [AirGradient forum](https://forum.airgradient.com/t/concern-about-hijackable-wifi-connection/3845), it may be a good idea to remove the Captive Portal package after initial configuration, as leaving it in will default to enabling the Access Point Mode if WiFi is not available, potentially allowing an external source to reconfigure the device to a new network or upload another firmware file. Can also add a password to the ap if this functionality is desired, but want to secure it.
