router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection

to the modem router.

ou can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the WiFi On/Off button on the modem router, or

you can log in to the modem router and enable or disable the WiFi radios through the web

management interface. If you are close to the modem router, it might be easier to press the
