When these two devices don't have any clients on their wifi AP after 10 minutes they shutdown the wifi. This presents an issue since then the user can't access the device without manual intervention. I added a checkbox (near where the colorblind checkbox is) in the config section that will change a config value to prevent the wifi from shutting down if there's no clients. It's off by default, and only shows on those 2 models.

I tested it on both the devices by deploying the change, waiting 10 minutes without connecting and confirmed that this fixes the issue. Based on a review of issues it looks liek this is a potential fix for #466. If the user was on their home wifi rather than the devices wifi and it took 10 minutes they could see what appears to be a device which doesn't have wifi available (and had a failed install due to the timeout issue I'm fixing in another PR).

I DID use Claude to add the quick button on the web GUI, although I've deployed this and exercised the web GUI myself.

Do either of those devices not have their own admin UI where this setting can be changed? That's how I deal with it on tplink.

I didn't see one, although admittedly it's been a while since I checked the default interface the thing ships with. My concern is mostly for folks who install this, then don't read a ton of documentation and just think it's broken and dump it.
