True Internet what should you be getting?

wifi broadcast

but to turn the broad cast off? Find the switch? OK will have a look much to the annoyance of my staff lol

Int he wifi setting page you can restrict access to nominated MAC addresses, there is also a setting called "announce" or something like that so that only permitted devices (by mac) can see the wifi signal.
To others it looks like there is no wifi.

But can you tell the box to not send out ANY wifi at all?

Would depend on the Admin software.
But f you make the network unrecoverable, it doesn't really matter does it?
Unless you think the WIFI signal degrades the performance of your tinfoil brain protector....

If you really don't want it, just get a router rather than a wifi/router.

Now that wasn't so hard, was it.

Just bin the router and shove the ethernet cable into your PC

Scratch that, I see yours is some 3 in 1 thing

The DPC3925 and EPC3925 wireless residential gateways provide a cost effective solution to combine a cable modem, a router, and a wireless access point into a single device.

Doesn't bother me in the office, as I am always plugged in. Would love to turn the wifi off if I could. Anyone know how to stop these boxes pumping out Wifi?

Log into the router and turn the radio off.

try browsing to 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.1.1

[harrybarracuda]

Open a command prompt and type "IPCONFIG /ALL" and look for the default gateway.

Then open a Browser and type in that gateway address as the URL.

It should then prompt you to login.

And do it while you're wired, because when you turn the wireless off it will disconnect you.



Once you're in, look in Wireless and there should be an Enable and Disable button.

ok thanks tried the 192 etc but Google could not find it. You were right Harry that brigs up the log in but it seems the user name and password they gave me were not right.

[Dillinger]

try

username: admin

Leave the password blank or use
password: admin

as well

[xanax]

yeah did all that unfortunately routerpassword.com does not have this make technicolor, i'll try the serial number as the password.

[harrybarracuda]

Google "Cisco modelnumber administrator guide"

I'd do it myself but it's beer o 'clock.

[xanax]

thanks, don't drink too mut

[Necron99]

try your phone number as the password..

[xanax]

OK thanks, this technicolor router is French no wonder it's a pain.
