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 d...
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...
Nope. it doesn't exist for me. The only thing in that webpage is the schedule to have it turn off by time. Imagine something basic like that and they eliminated for the RS700. An expensive router is missing a basic function. I have never seen something like that before.
I have a BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Router by Tp-Link and it has that function. If I knew RS700 didn't have it I would not have bothered with it, it was not mention so I got fooled into buying this missing a basic feature like turning off wifi. It is frustrating. I don't use wifi, I use ethernet and I get tired of people trying to sign into my wifi so I want to turn it off. I went into the router and it wasn't there! Who does that? Take a basic feature away? I guess Netgear does.
I have been looking through the forum and it seems they decided to take it off. They might implement it in the future. People have been asking as to why they can't turn off their wifi, not just me. I dislike to have pay so much money on something that doesn't even have a basic function. Live and learn. I don't know who was the genius that thought about that one. Some people said that is not implemented yet. So here we all sit with RS 700 not being able to turn off wifi. So I'm stuck with this, which leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. So no need to contact them because they did this themselves. It is a petty because is a decent router with a handicap.
