How to permanently disable wifi and HeroPlus bluetooth cards?

I work near very sensitive equipment and wifi and Bluetooth interfere with our measuring devices. However, we need to take extremely high quality videos of our work so GoPro HeroPlus is great. We must physically and permanently disable the wifi and Bluetooth. Any help is greatly appreciated. The other camera is the GoPro Fusion 360. We need to do the same with that camera. Thanks. Jim

Hi @corkgiants ,

Have you checked in the camera’s settings menu area if turning off the WiFi/Bluetooth is an option, you didn’t say?

This is from the manual to turn on the WiFi so hopefully you can also turn it off. Further on it states to do the same for Bluetooth:

1. Turn on your camera’s wireless:

a. Press the Mode button repeatedly until you get to Settings, then press the Shutter button to select it.

b. Press the Shutter button repeatedly until you get to Connections.

c. Press the Mode button to highlight Turn On, then press the Shutter button to select it.

d. Press the Mode button to highlight Yes, then press the Shutter button to turn on wireless.

e. Press the Mode button repeatedly until you get to Done, then press the Shutter button to select it.

@jayeff - thank so much for your answer, it is a good one. However, the key to my question is: "We must physically and permanently disable the wifi and Bluetooth."

Has anyone dared to removed the WIFI chip from the motherboard and kept the camera operational?
