Can a P1 be setup to connect to the internet without claiming it?

Do you have a USB serial port on your P1 board? It sounds like you do if you’re programming the initial firmware binary by serial.

Have you tried setting the Wi-Fi credentials using particle serial wifi with a JSON file? You can do it entirely automated, before you flash your firmware binary.

Create a JSON file with the Wi-Fi credentials:

{"network":"xxx","security":"WPA2_AES","password":"xxx"}

Then you can set them with a command like:

particle serial wifi --port xxx --file wifi.json

It should be possible to run that without user intervention when the P1 is in listening mode.
