render wlan unusable

[ville]

Hello,

I would like to remove the WLAN functionality of the router entirely and was wondering

how would I accomplish this. I was thinking about if desoldering some component

would do this. I have already cut the antenna connections on the PCB,

but it obviously leabe

I use the device in a small LAN to connect a couple devices via cable ethernet

and consider the wifi module a security issue.

Firmware V1.2.3.7

Ok, thanks for the answers. I think the faraday cage solution sounds most promising at the moment

[ville]

just to finish the sentence, that cutting the antenna connections reduce the range,

but it is still 'on'

Yeah, thanks, but I am looking for a 'hardware' oriented way of disabling the wifi radio

so that it can't be turned on in software anymore.

Wow, why go through so much trouble?  Why not get a wired-only router?

Or flick the switch on the device.

This may be one of those boxes that simply will not turn on through the web interface, unless you throw the switch on it..

If there is no switch, then wrap the thing in tinfoil! Or put it in a Faraday cage.
