Control the Wireless Radios

The modem router’s internal wireless radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz range and 5 GHz range. By default, these radios are on so that you can connect wirelessly to the modem router. When the wireless radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.

You can turn the wireless 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 wireless radios. If you are close to the modem router, it might be easier to press its WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the modem router or are currently logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios.
