Disable of wireless

i have a wireless-G  broadband router with speedbooster model WRT54GS  .is it possible to disable the wireless connection and use only the wire connections during nights?

The only way to do this is to manually enable/disable the wireless in the router's settings.
Always use a wired computer when you change your router settings.
To disable wireless:
Look at the "WLAN" light on the front of the router, and verify that it is on.
Point your browser to 192.168.1.1
Enter your user name (if any) and password.
This will take you to your router's setup page.
Click on the "Wireless" tab.
If you are not already in "Basic Wireless Settings", click on that tab.
Set the "Wireless Network Mode" to "Disabled".
Click on "Save Settings", then wait (2 to 60 seconds) for the page to refresh.
Exit your browser.
Check the "WLAN" light on the front of the router, and verify that it has turned off.
However, the obvious question is, why do you want to disable your wireless at night?  Most people leave it on 24/7.  Are you concerned about security issues?  Have you secured your wireless?

  • Disable the wireless network card upon connection.

    Has anyone done the following, if so can you provide some insite on how to do it and how well it works....If wireless networking is not being used in the organization, it is possible for CSA to disable
    the wireless network card when it is connected to the corporate network. I'm assuming by using the system
    state variable with the rule, you can allow laptop users the ability to use wireless when they are
    not connected to the corporate network.

    I dont' see a system state "ethernet active" do I create this? I'm on CSA version 5.1.0.103. I have a system state called network which has the description of All users who are logged on via a network connection. Is that the same thing you mean? Then how do I create the rule? I get to where I have a NAC rule but I'm not for sure what to choose after that.

  • How do I permenantly disable the wireless on HP 6700, 6100, 3000 all in one printers?

    Wireless is not allowed in my environment. We turned off the wireless, but very easy for end user to re-enable it. And they have re-enabled it on several occasions resulting in security findings against our company. Need to permanantly disable the wireless. Is it possible or do this or do we need to throw away all current HP's and stop the order for the remaing 10,000 and find another manufacturer that has the ability to fully disable wireless on the printer.

    Please find the below steps to disable the wireless on the printer .
    HP Oficejet 6700

  • Should I disable the wireless capabilities of my Bigpond modem/router when Airport Extreme is connected?

    Should I disable the wireless capabilities of my Bigpond modem/router when Airport Extreme is connected? I'm told that it's better to only use the WiFi capabilities of the Extreme and leave the Bigpond to feed to the extreme.

    No, bridge mode would not be the correct setting for this.
    Instead, look for a "wireless settings" tab or page that will provide the option to turn off or disable the wireless radio of the BigPond router.
    If you are still having difficulty, it would be a good idea to post your question on a BigPond support forum or contact your Internet Service Provider.

  • 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.

  • I somehow disabled my wireless address on my hp photosmart plus 209a printer. I need to know how to

    I some how disabled my wireless address on hp photosmart plus 209a print. I need to know how to turn it back on.

    DId you just turn off the radio (does the blue light indicate that)?  If so, go to Setup > Network and turn the radio back on.
    Or did you reset the defaults?
    Does your router have WPS?  What brand/model is your router?

  • How to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Is it possible to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?
    It is because I do not want to have any high frequency radio signal which may be dangerous for small baby (no such proof for the moment, however).
    Anyone using the new Airport Extreme Base Station please check and help.
    Thanks!!

    I think you are a little too concerned. Just for the sake of how to, here it is.
    go to manual set up, airport, wireless, wireless mode, and then choose off.
    good luck.

  • How to automatica​lly disable the wireless interface when the LAN interface is connected

    Hi,
    Is there a way to automatically disable the wireless interface when the LAN interface is connected on  R61s and X61s?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the answer. I'm trying to deploy the profile that I've created on all my laptops. But i'm facing an issue for a while.
    When the profile is deployed on a laptop, Access Connections finds a new ethernet port and asks to assign it a profile. But the problem is that Access Connection don't allow me to assign it to my wired profile, only to my wireless profile and that doesn't make sens to me. Besides, it is written in the dialogue box that ethernet profiles are disable for the match of the new port...
    Is there any way to assign the new port to the new profile without human interaction or just how to make the wired profile available when access connection is launched and find a new ethernet connection
    Thanks in advance!

  • I "secured" my network and in doing so disabled my wireless connected pc

    I "secured" my network and in doing so disabled my wireless connected pc cannot see the network or rather the network is blocking it off. In doing the settings I did notice on the active pc list it showed 1 active pc and 1 inactive pc and at the time both pc's were active and connected so I don't know why I got that. I don't know what to do further except use the cd that came with the linksys wireless and I cannot find it!
    Can anyone help me undo what I did and possibly re do it allowing my second pc to be seen and allowed on the network?
    windows xp, linksys wireless G router and usb adaptor

    Hi...
       In this case first connect one of your PC to the router with an ethernet cable.
    then log in to the Setup Page of the router with http://192.168.1.1 username is blank and password is admin.
             Under the wireless tab on the Wireless MAC Filter , disable the Wireless MAC Filter.Then on the Basic  Wireless  Settings make sure that the wireless channel is either 6 or 11.also check that the SSID Broadcast is enabled.
           Under the Wireless Security tab change the security mode to WEP and in key 1 ,type any 10 digit numbers [1234567890] as your security password.
          i hope this will work.

  • How do I disable a wireless network and recreate it?

    How do I disable a wireless network and recreate it?  I believe I set it up incorrectly so I would like to delete it or disable it and recreate the wifi network

    Go into settings>network, highlight the network you want to delete, and click - at the bottom of the services list. You can then add it from scratch by clicking on +.

  • 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?

    Wizzard wrote:
    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 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,
    Todd

    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!
