Need a router which allows Wifi to be turned OFF

Hi, I need a router that has a Wifi on/off switch that will allow me to use it wired. Does the N300, or one of the others, have a Wifi on/off switch? Thanks, Louise.

    LouBu You may want to check the latest router model, R7800. It has a WiFi On/Off button.

Any router has that ability in their f/w.

    I think every router I had and currently using has a switch to turn on and off wifi signal!

      BT Hubs dont have a physical wifi on/off button. You can only access it by logging into an online app.

        Hubs and switch are wired stuff you can unplug the stuff and done deal!
