Control the Wireless Radios
The router has internal wireless radios that 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
