You'll have to check the details of the local Wi-Fi provider’s router for that information. It may have an on/off switch somewhere, or you may have to go into a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI).
What is the local Wi-Fi provider’s router? Is it also a modem that connects you to the internet? Or just a router?
If it is a modem/router you may be able to turn off the router bit completely and use it in modem-only mode.
If it is just a router, you might be able to do without it completely.
Just another user with time on their hands.
