I'm trying to have a fully ETHERNET connected home network with NO wireless devices. In NETGEAR GENIE, I have WIRELESS
TURNED OFF. However, when I TEST a WIRELESS connection on one of my devices (I have many, I'm a geek) it often CONNECTS
WIRELESSLY; does this mean that WIRELESS IS NOT REALLY TURNED OFF BY NETGEAR ROUTER? When I go back to Genie after connecting wirelessly, it still says wireless is turned OFF. How does this happen? I'm trying to avoid as much EMF or other radiation as I can,
so I am wondering if anyone can answer this question. vsnyder@sbcglobal.net or vsnyder0923@gmail.com. THANKS,
VANCE SNDER

dont just turn off SSID broadcast, Turn OFF THE RADIO from the advanced wireless settings via GUI page.
