Where in NZ are you ... I'm sure someone can help in-home if nearby.

People have many reasons to turn off wi-fi: concerns about health, someone stealing inet, privacy at last... But it's so convenient :)

chrissie: Yes, she must have.  But how do you turn it off - I don't know anything about this stuff.  When I installed mine, I just went through the online steps they give you and set up WIFI.

How do you turn off WIFI - please give me the "Idiot's Guide".  :)

But instead of checking the "Interface Enabled" box, you want to clear the "Interface Enabled" box.  Then just save settings.  WiFi should turn off.


Tin foil hats work quite well too if WiFi can't be disabled
