Turning off WiFi on a VEVG2660 router

Hi

I recently had FTTH installed at my home, and my service provider set it up with a VEVG2660-1TKSAS router. I have a few questions:

 

1. Is this the same as the standard VEVG2660 router?

2. How can I disable the wireless function? I have a ceiling mounted AP close by, so I don't need the WiFi capability of the router.

3. The model does not appear on the product database (when I tried to register the product). What is the equivalent model I should I look at for firmware updates?

 

Regards

Mo

    Hello MFG

     

    This product is supported by your ISP but I was able to find this in the manual.

     

     To turn the wireless radio off and on with the WiFi On/Off button: Press the WiFi On/Off button on the gateway for two seconds. If you turn off the wireless radio, the 2.4 GHz LED and the WPS LED turn off. If you turn on the wireless radio, the 2.4 GHz LED and the WPS LED light.
