Disable the idle time-out for the management WiFi network

By default, the idle time-out for the management WiFi network is 15 minutes. That is, if
no WiFi client is connected to the management WiFi network for 15 minutes, the
management SSID is turned off.
Only after you restart the AP can you reconnect to the management WiFi network.
However, you can disable the idle time-out so that the management WiFi network stays
always on.
