Hi Timmer66,

"Enable Wireless Router Radio"

Hello. I looked on page 110 of the manual and it shows a check box to enable wireless radio. When I go to that advanced page on my router, there is no longer any option to turn that off. I also used to be able to from my Iphone. I would turn it off when I wanted the kids off if they didnt listen to me, and I would just kill it from my phone, even in bed. I cannot find any such option any more, from my phone or my desktop computer.
I am running the latest version V1.0.7.2_1.1.93. This has been a bit frustrating. It was a nice tool that was suddenly gone. Any direction towards finding how to do this again would be much appreciated.
Hi Timmer66,
Please check page 132 of the user manual.

The option shown is no longer available with the latest firmware update I installed.
Hi Timmer66,
The "Enable SSID Broadcast" option is now under the wireless setup.

From what I understand the enable SSID broadcast isn't the same thing as disabling the wifi. If your computer knows the SSID, it can still connect. It just makes it harder to find if you dont know the id, unless they have changed the definition?
