Control the Wireless Radios

The router's internal wireless radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz range. By
default, the radios 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
you already logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios. You can also turn
them off and on based on a schedule. (See
