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.

did you push and hold it for 2 seconds?

Holding the wifi button 2 seconds appears to toggle it on and off (I looked for wifi signals using my phone). There is no on/off led light directly beneath the wifi button. Very misleading! It causes the WPS light to go on and off. I don't know much about WPS and whether I even need it. The only wifi devices that I use are the Firestick and to sometimes get data for my phone. Will the wifi toggle on and off if I'm not using WPS?

 

Thanks
