There are several ways to turn off the wifi.
As I suggested, one is a physical switch.
The others are in the manual.

Many Netgear router have a switch on the top that turns off the wifi.
Most also have controls in the browser graphical user interface (GUI) that can turn the wifi on and off to a schedule.
I rarely use its signal interferes with other electronics.
That's a new one that rely, if ever, crops up here. I'd investigate other possibilities.

There are plenty of modems out there that you can connect to the router of your choice. Look at Netgear's CM models.
That is the sort of system that many experienced users prefer. This gives them a much bigger choice of routers.
