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

WiFi can be disabled and enabled with a button click...
Hope you are aware a cable modem is an RF device, creating RF noise on high bandwidth. There is even a transmitter in use for handing the uplink channels. Much more than a 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and even the 6 GHz Wi-Fi ever does.
