If you have decided to stick with an ethernet connection on your skyweather2 pi and don't want the builtin wifi to load up and be available, you can disable this by adding the following line to /boot/config.txt:
You should be completely sure you don't need onboard wifi and have a solid ethernet connection before you do this. This turns off the onboard wifi subsystem at boot and works on the current version of Raspbian shipped with the SDL SD cards.
Here is one the possible procedures to accomplish turning off wifi and bluetooth subsystems as listed in raspberrytips.com/disable-wifi-raspberry-pi/
You can open a terminal, connect via SSH, or edit the file directly on the SD card from your computer
Open the config.txt file with nano:
Find the following line:
And add these two lines under it:
The second line is for the Bluetooth module. Save and exit (CTRL+O, CTRL+X). Reboot your Raspberry Pi to check if everything work as expected. I did this on my skyweather2 pi so I would force the communications taking place to always be over the ethernet connection.
