Control the WiFi Radios
The modem router provides internal WiFi radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges.
By default, they are on so that you can connect over WiFi to the modem router. When the WiFi radios are
off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.
You 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 modem router web pages. If you
are close to the modem router, it might be easier to press the WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the
modem router or already logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios through the modem
router web pages.
Use the WiFi On/Off Button
To turn the WiFi radios off and on with the WiFi On/Off button:
• Press the WiFi On/Off button on the top panel of the modem router for two seconds.
If you turned off the WiFi radios, the 2.4 GHz WiFi LED, 5 GHz WiFi LED, WiFi LED, and WPS LED turn
off. If you turned on the WiFi radios, these LEDs lights solid white.
If you want to disable the WiFi radio or radios of the modem router, use a wired
connection to avoid being disconnected when WiFi radio or radios turn off.
