Wi-Fi On or Off?

[hawkzzter]

HI, I'm a newbie here, this maybe a silly question (or not), but should I install the firmware update with Wi-Fi on or off as default? what's the advantages/disadvantages of the two options (from those that have used it for a while)? Thanks

WiFi off uses less power/battery, so the car can sit longer without running down. If you almost never download footage, then use wifi-off. If, however, you use the wi-fi all the time to download, like every day, then leave it on.

Personally, I use default OFF and on the rare occasion that I need to download, I simply turn the wifi on with the long-hold on the button, and then turn it off the next time I think about it.

If you do leave it on, (or even if you don't leave it on) I would recommend changing the wifi password so no one around you can access it.
