Wireless router where you can turn the wireless off?

Recommended Posts

Ok, so here's the deal...

 

My dad doesn't want wireless running constantly for some reason, but i need to have a server set up to practice my 1337z0r networking/web skills on. Is there a router that has 3/4 physical ethernet ports (preferably gigabit, but 10/100 would probably be cheaper) but also a turn-offable-without-disabling-the-physical-ports wireless capability.

 

 

Oh yeah, and it has to act as a ADSL modem aswell.

 

If anyone can find something like this, i'll be amazed, i definately haven't had any luck.

All routers (that I know of) for use in homes or small offices have 4 ethernet ports. As for turning off the wireless every router SHOULD have this. That will simply be in the settings for the router. I know netgear DOES support turning off the raido if that helps.

hmm, never mind. Roadkill got me the answer :D

 

Just get a normal routerand add a wireless access point to one of the ports.

The router I have has a simple check box for whether wireless is on or off.

I'd rather it be a physical switch to be honest, so much easier.

mmm, nah, i recommend a normal wireless router with integrated adsl modem. All wireless routers that i know have at least 4 ethernet ports and can disable wireless whenever you like. And why doesn't your dad want wireless always on?
