WNDR3700 changing from wireless to wired (radio off)
Need to know how to switch back and forth from wireless to wired and back using a wired only PC running Win 7.

I want to be able to turn the wireless radio completely on and off whenever I wish to. I normally run wired but sometimes I need the wireless radio temporalily on to use a Firestick device.

there's a hardwired wifi on/off button on it.

Thanks. I tried the wifi button but it doesn't toggle the wifi light on and off. It's never lit. There's another button next to it that is solid green (wps?). The Firestick is still receiving wifi even though the wifi button light is off. Perhaps the wifi button or light is flakey.
I expect a wifi on/off button to work as advertized.
Trying to connect to the router via my Firefox browser doesn't work. It worked for 10 years on my Netgear RP-614 that I had prior to this WNDR3700. Isn't Netgear a quality brand?
