Looking for a router that I can switch off the wireless wifi
Hello! Im looking for a router, ideally a modem and router combo, where I can leave a few things plugged into the Ethernet ports - like a couple computers etc. which would give them internet 24/7. ...

While also being able to ‘flip a switch’ turning off the wireless Wi-Fi waves the device is emitting. But without just unplugging the router and shutting off the internet entirely.
Many Netgear routers have an physical switch that turns the wifi on and off. It isn't always easy to spot it, because the switch also doubles as a wifi indicator.
This is also managed with the browser graphical user interface (GUI).
MESH routers don't all have this physical switch.
Some models let you set up a Wireless Schedule to turn the wifi on and off.
Start by looking for something that meets your other needs.
A good start could be the RAX range. They come in all shapes and sizes.
