You can disable the wireless radios on the router under Advanced/Advanced Settings/Wireless.
Uncheck Enable SSID Broadcast. NOt sure if the Satellite can be done the same way. The satellite may have wifi always on.
disabling SSID brodcast does not turn off WIFI. That just stops the SSID from showing up in lists if you're trying to find a WIFI. I came from an Asus router, and disabled SSID. But my wifi devices still connect because it's already established. SSID broadcast just means "hey, I'm here for you to connect."
