Control the Wireless Radios

The router's internal wireless radios 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 therouter, 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
