Turn off wifi
How can I turn off wifi on my AC1900 modem router?

Most devices have a wifi switch on the side.
AC1900 is a wifi speed standard not a Netgear model. Netgear makes a handful of AC1900 devices.
Tell us which model number you have and someone can probably point you at the manual.
- Model C7100V
I read somewhere and was told I could turn the wifi off with the Netgear app, but I can't figure it out? Thanks.Which Netgear app? Desktop? Android? iThing?
Sorry to keep asking questions, but Netgear likes to confuse us with its different apps.
To turn it off locally, there's a switch on the front. See page 83 of the manual:

It doesn't make sense to use a wifi app to control the wifi. Once you have turned it off you can't turn it back on again because you won't be able to connect to the wifi again to turn it back on.
You can turn Guest access on and off.
