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
