Can I disable the wireless signal?

I'm using a wireless router (e2000) as a wired router. I don't currently have a use for the wireless feature, so can I turn that off somehow?

Under the Wireless tab,select manual and disable the option "SSID Broadcast" and click on save settings.
That won't disable the wireless signal. It will only disable the SSID broadcast. The wireless is still accessible. It will still cause transmissions. The network is still accessible. The presence of the wireless router is still easily detected.
Only setting the network mode to "disabled" will disable the wireless radio in the router, i.e. powering it off.

  • Can I disable the wireless part of my airport express and use ethernet?

    I have an airport express which is used to print and stream itunes to my stereo.
    I just purchased an airport extreme and I am worried that it will lower my throughput from N to G. Is there a way to connect the airport express to the airport extreme via ethernet chord and disable the wireless part? I realize I can get still connect to a printer using the usb port on the extreme but then I have no way of streaming my itunes?

    To adjust the wireless radio power on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Options...
    o Transmit Power: <select the transmit power from 10% to 100%>
    o Click "Done" to close the Wireless Options window.
    o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

  • Can I boost the wireless signal?

    Our wireles signal on our PowerBook g4 is always much lower than other devices in the same room.  Does anyone know if there is a way to boost the wireless signal?
    Thanks,
    Jenny

    Hi Jenny,
    Normally you can only adjust the signal strength of the broadcasting unit (router), not the receiver (computer). The PowerBook antenna is in the screen frame--about all you can do is rotate the computer to see if it can better pick up the signal.
    If the wireless icon shows fewer bars but everything still works, I would not be too concerned. When we upgraded our cable service, the ISP gave us a modem that includes wireless and I noticed our geriatric PowerBook G4 1Ghz showing fewer bars than with the older wireless router we used. However, once it connects, it runs as fast as before.
    Remember that no PowerBook G4 has wireless faster than "g" where newer devices may have the faster 'N' protocol. If you are finding the old PBG4 slower than the newer devices, that's a hardware limitation, not signal strength.
    If you have more specific issues, please by all means post them and we can see if there is something else afoot.

  • Can I disable the wireless functionality and use Ethernet only?

    Can you completely disable the wireless functionality and use the Airport Extreme Base Station as a wired internet router with integrated print server?

    Yes. I do that. I don't use a print server but I was using that port for an HD. My AExpress connected to it is wired also.

  • Can I disable the wireless function on WRT54G???

    I just installed a WRT54G, and I am currently only using the wired portion of this device.  Is there any way to disable the wireless function until I need to use it?
    Thanks,

    Look at your router.   I assume the "WLAN" light is on.  If so, proceed:
    Open your web browser and point it to 192.168.1.1.
    Enter your user name (if any) and password.
    This will take you to your router's setup pages.
    Go to the "Wireless" tab, "Basic Wireless Settings"
    Set "Wireless Network Mode" to "Disabled".
    Click on "Save Settings" button, and wait several seconds for the page to refresh.
    Exit your web browser.
    Verify that the "WLAN" light on the front of the router is now off.
    If it is, you are done!

  • How can I disable the Wireless Keypad?

    The touchscreen tablet chirps all day about a "Communications Failure" with the wireless keypad.  The tablet itself and our iPhones are all we use to arm/disarm the system.  Plus, the wireless kepad goes through batteries like nuts.  How can we either disable the keypad, or disable the notifications?

    I think you can remove the wireless keypad with the touchscreen. Go to settings, enter the installer code, find the keypad and remove it. If it burns through battery's it probably is too far away from the touch screen with not enough other devices in between. If you would place some other zigbee devices in between the keypad wouldn't need to increase it's radio signal to communicate. 

  • How can I disable the wireless status LED (T61)?

    When I'm working on my laptop and listening to, for example, online radio the wireless status led under the screen keeps blinking (data is being transmitted). I find this extremely annoying and distracting. Is there any way to disable the LED? (but obviously I would still need to be connected). I'm using windows xp on a thinkpad T61.
    Help much appreciated!

    i would use a black permanent marker or something, or a black sticker. This is the easiest and safest way of doing it, it is perfectly reversable.

    Hello Sashalechat,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect to a wireless network.
    Have you changed the router for a new one? 
    Make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Make sure that you are with in the 4'-20' range.
    You can try the HP Print and Scan Doctor as well.  Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
    Write me back when you have time.

    I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender.  I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it.  No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini.   How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet.   It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.  

    Junglemania,
    Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn.  Go to Wireless Advanced Settings.  There is a WMM settings.  Make sure the WMM is enabled. 
    This may help you out.

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • Can I boost the DSL signal using my 1st Generation Airport Extreme or Express? Also, can I get wireless printing?

    Can I boost the DSL signal using my 1st Generation Airport Extreme or Express?
    I just moved into a house where they have ATT DSL and it is really slow in my room.  I am hoping that I don't have to purchase a booster and I might be able to use my Airport Extreme or Express to boost it.  I don't think they want my Extreme as their router, though.  They are PC.
    I am also hoping that I can set up a wireless printing situation in my room using the Express or Extreme.
    I am running 10.4.11 on my old MacBook Pro laptop, 10.5.something on my old desktop (MacMini).
    Thanks for any help ahead of time,

    Unfortunately, this won't work especially if you want the connection between the routers to be wireless. The two are just not compatible for configuring an extended network. However, it could work if you can have them interconnected by wire. In that case, you could configure them into a roaming network.
    I don't think they want my Extreme as their router, though.  They are PC.
    This shouldn't be an issue as the AirPorts support wireless clients regardless of which operating system they are running.

  • I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back and it will also send my music to the airport express?

    I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back yard and it will boost our wo
    Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

    P.S i;ve heard a comment about the G5 case not being
    great for wireless so the cards come with a plastic
    antena that connects to the back of the machine - i
    never recieved one of these - could that be the
    problem?
    Newer G5 PowerMacs don't require the external t-shaped aerial, earlier models do and that is probably the cause of the problem.
