Control the WiFi Radios

The router's internal WiFi radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. By default, they are on so that
you can connect over WiFi to the router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN
connection to the router.
You can turn the WiFi 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 WiFi 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 already logged in it might be easier to enable or disable them. You can also turn
the WiFi radios off and on based on a schedule. (See
