Is it possible to turn off the wireless networking feature?

As I don't want to have a wireless hotspot 24/7 at my place and would prefer to conserve power when that function isn't needed, I'd like to know if the Time Capsules allow users to turn the wi-fi broadcasting on and off. Or is it just an always-on kind of machine?

"Do you mean simply connected via firewire or USB?"
You would need to have your computer connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet.
"But, is there no way to save your original settings so they needn't be re-entered when re-starting wireless?"
No, this is not possible. When you change the wireless settings to "None" from "Create a Wireless Network" using Airport Utility, the Time Capsule requires an update and restart for the new setting(s) to take effect. The old setting is lost. Same thing when you change from "None" to "Create a Wireless Network"

  • Is it possible to turn off the wireless signal on the Airport Extreme?

    Is it possible to temporarily turn off the wireless signal being emitted from an Airport Extreme whilst still remaining connected to the internet via ethernet? If so, what do you need to do to turn off the wireless signal?
    Also, how strong is the wireless signal? If placed in a basement of a residential property, is it likely that the signal would reach two floors above?
    Thanks very much for your answers.

    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located just under the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = None
    Update to save your new settings
    You can reverse the process to turn the wireless back on when you are ready.

    It's just not possible to accurately predict wireless performance in advance for any installation. A guess would be that the signal will be very weak, and likely unusable, but you won't know for sure until you try it out in your house.

    probably we will get this option with GDR3 update, but you cannot turn it off at the moment
    The silence will fall

    Hi,
    You may not have a wireless network adapter.
    If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

  • Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

    Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

    Hi buddy,
    I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
    But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

  • Is it possible to turn off the Apple dock completely?

    I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the Apple dock completely without causing irreparable damage to my system. I am considering using Drag Thing, but when I am using it the functionality seems redundant with the Apple dock, also using both programs in tandem uses up more precious memory. The Drag Thing website links to the following tutorial as a solution:
    http://www.creativemac.com/2003/02_feb/tutorials/dockdead2030225.htm
    But it was published a long time ago, and I don't want to do anything rash that would damage my system, I mean I don't dislike the Apple dock enough to do that. Thanks in advance for the consideration and suggestions.

    I could only discover an option to hide the dock from within Drag Thing. I am looking to make the dock disappear completely. Drag Thing does not officially support this option, giving this answer in the Q & A section of their website:
    "*It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Since people often ask how to do it anyway, here's a good tutorial I found on how to kill the Dock by Kevin Schmitt. This may have unforseen side effects however, which is why I've not documented the procedure myself, or added an option for this in DragThing. I keep the Dock hidden off the bottom of the screen on my own Mac.*"
    Is the dock so embedded within the Finder's operations that killing it will affect system performance?

  • Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

    I’ve seen a couple postings that say go to Settings --> General --> Passcode Lock, but on my iPhone 4s I don’t see anywhere to turn it off at that point.  In the manual, there is no description of turning off the passcode – at least I didn’t find it.

    no, once you get to Passcode Lock, there is no option to turn it off - certainly none visible to me.  Have you actually tried to do this?  Do you have an iphone 4s?
    Here is a screen shot of what you get when you press "Passcode Lock".
    You have to ENTER your passcode first, to access the part of the Settings that allows you to disable the passcode lock.
    Enter your passcode.
    Then you can turn the passcode off.

  • Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?

    Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.

    I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
    The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
    I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue

  • Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
    When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
    If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
    There are a couple of avenues for you
    Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
    paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.

  • My iPhoto often have difficulty in opening without the "repair". Maybe it's because I have almost 2000 pictures! When I initiate repair using Mac for a long time to find and sort faces .... Is it possible to turn off or avoid this feature?

    This user has found a "hack" to turn off faces.  Several users have reported success with the method.  I can't comfirm the method as I've not used it.  Use at your own risk.

    Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
    Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
    Start of solution:
    I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.

  • Turn off the wireless??

    EveningNew to forums and new to Sky (came from BT after many years) so hello to you all. Not going to knock Sky (yet) but just have a quick question; On my old BT router you could turn off the wireless signal between certain times which made it easier for us as the children could not access I-Pods etc after lights out but still use the broadband cabled into my PC. Is anyone aware of a similar feature on the Sky router - I have had a quick look but cant find anything... Thanks in advance

    Hello All,
    Thanks for getting in  touch.
    @Gary0903, great to see that you have joined Sky Broadband. Thanks for your feedback with regards to the timer, I can certainly pass this feedback on to the relevant team. In the meantime it would require you to manually go in to turn the wireless on and off using the details that stantheman2k12 supplied.
    @SkyMJR, welcome to Sky have you managed to run through the steps that stantheman2k12 has supplied to turn the wireless off at certain times? There is no current timer that can be set to do this automatically.
    @deecorbett123, I hope you have managed to turn the wireless back on. As caesarome has mentioned you required a direct connection to the router to allow access the router status page (192.168.0.1) to turn the wireless back on.
    If you have any further queries please get back to us.
    Thanks,

  • Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

    Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
    This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

    Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.
