AC1200 Smart WiFi Router with External Antennas
Control the Wireless Radios
The router’s internal wireless radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz range. By
default, they are on so that you can connect wirelessly to the router. When the wireless
radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.
You can turn the wireless radios on and off with the
WiFi On/Off
button on the router, or you
can log in to the router and enable or disable the wireless radios. If you are close to the
router, it might be easier to press its
WiFi On/Off
button. If you are away from the router or
have already logged in it might be easier to enable or disable them. You can also turn the
WiFi radios off and on based on a schedule. (See
Set Up a Wireless Schedule
