WiFi in 800xA
Dear Sir,
I am using CHMI 6.0.3.2 and as default, my Wi-Fi got disabled after installation. And I got to know how to enable it again by searching it in this same forum.
Can you tell me why it is disabling Wi-Fi by default and what are the disadvantages while enabling it again and reusing it
Thanks for your attention

Sorry, I have no clues to why Wi-Fi was disabled.
I see no issues with enabling Wi-Fi again and using it where appropriate (browsing webpages, printing documents, etc.)
However, in professional automation systems, I would not use Wi-Fi to download to a PLC. If a download to AC 800M becomes interrupted midway, you may sometimes have to reset the controller to be able to download again (=the controlled process will be interrupted or left without control for the duration of the reset + download).
Engineering over Wi-Fi can be safely made if the engineer uses Remote Desktop Connection over Wi-Fi to a Control Builder M session run on a computer having a wired connection with the AC 800M controllers.
