RS700 turning off wifi -Firmware Version V1.0.7.96_2.0.96

Ok, I can't find a way to shut down wifi.

If I can't shut down wifi, which a basic feature. Who determines the killing of a basic feature?

Never in a million years would I question if this router don't allowed me to shut down wifi before I spend my money on it!  Why don't I have the basic feature to shut down wifi?

I need to shut down wifi without shutting down the whole router!

Who would think of eliminating a basic feature like that from an expensive router?  I need to shut down wifi permanently. Not turning on again, period!

Nighthawk RS700

  • I can shut off my RS600 wifi Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings routers web page. Doesn't shut down the router portion, just wifi radios.

    I resume its in the same location on the RS700 and all RS series models.

      Nope.  Not shutdown wifi.  The only thing there is shut down by schedule, and that doesn't even work well either.

      Thanks for trying to help.  Maybe your model has a different setup.

        You don't see this on the routers Web page? MS Edge here...
