How to disable WiFi on a router?

There are two ways to completely disable the WiFi network on your router:

Physically with a button on the case, if available on the router model
Remotely from the admin panel - also completely, or according to a schedule.

With the first option, everything is clear - we press the button on the case and WiFi turns off. Press again and it turns on. This is what this button looks like on the Tenda AC6 router

Also, many models have a separate setting to turn off the wireless Wi-Fi signal. It performs the same function, but to save money, the manufacturer did not attach a physical button to it.

Disabling WiFi in the router remotely according to a schedule at night

The ability to turn off the wifi signal remotely according to a schedule is provided in many routers. For example, for the time when you are not using it, or at night.

I have already written about the safety of wifi for health, but many users still think that some kind of harm comes from it.

But constantly turning off wifi manually using a button on the router or remotely from the control panel is not very practical. But setting up wifi to turn off automatically and even setting a schedule for its operation is very convenient. For example, turn off the router at night.

How to disable scheduled WiFi on a TP-Link router?

On the TP-Link router in the new version of the panel, wifi is disabled in the “Advanced settings - Wireless mode - Wireless mode settings” section. Here you just need to uncheck the “Enable wireless broadcasting” option in each of the bands - 2.4 and 5 GHz.

To remotely activate timed operation, go to the “Wireless Broadcast Schedule” subsection in the same section and activate it with a toggle switch. Next, click on the link “Edit schedule”

and on a visual calendar we mark on which days and times the wifi relay will not work

After that, click on the “Save” button and again on the same one on the main schedule page.

In the old admin panel, to turn off the signal, you need to go to the “Select operating frequency” menu and also uncheck

To turn off wifi according to a schedule, go to the “Access Control - Schedule” menu and click on “Add”

We come up with a name for the schedule and assign a time - either by setting the time period and days through drop-down lists, or manually on the calendar

How to turn off Wi-Fi on an Asus router according to a schedule?

You can turn off the wifi module on the Asus router from the “Wireless Network” section on the “Professional” tab. There is a function here to completely disable the radio module and create a schedule for network operation - separately for week days and for weekends.

How to disable WiFi on a Tenda router?

In order to assign a schedule for when to turn on and when to turn off WiFi on the Tenda router, go to the section “WiFi Settings - WiFi Schedule”

We activate the scheduled operation mode and assign days and times to turn off WiFi.

We save the settings and wait until the router reboots, after which the schedule will take effect.

The same settings can be made through the Tenda WiFi mobile application

Disabling the WiFi network according to a schedule on the Zyxel Keenetic router

With Zyxel Keenetic, completely disabling Wi-Fi is quite simple - go to the “Wi-Fi network” settings and uncheck “Enable access point”

If you need to turn off WiFi only at a certain time, then the “Schedule” section will come to the rescue - it also has quite flexible settings for time and days of the week, and you can also assign several schedules for individual devices.

In the latest version of Keenetic software, this setting is located directly in the “Home Network” configurator

That's all - now you know how to automatically turn off wifi on a schedule or completely disable the signal on your router. As I get more models, I'll be adding instructions here on how to set them up, so stay tuned!

Option 2: Wi-Fi Access Control

We have already said above that sometimes users simply want to restrict access to Wi-Fi for some devices, but do not know how exactly this happens without completely disabling the wireless Internet. Fortunately, there is still such a method, and its essence is to add rules to control access.

Through the “WLAN” section, go to the “Access Control List” menu.

Here, expand the “Wireless Network Access Mode” drop-down list.

You can choose one of the options for the rule. We think there is no need to explain the operating principle of each, since it is clear from the name itself.

As for the specified devices, they are determined by MAC address. Let's consider a situation where you want to prevent all other computers and phones from connecting to Wi-Fi, but your current device could do so. Through the “Status” menu, copy the MAC address.

After that, paste it into the “Access Control List” and click on “Add”.

Save the changes by clicking the “Apply” button.

As for the implementation of other rules, for example, when other equipment is present in the list of exceptions, it will also have to be added by MAC addresses. If it is currently connected to the router, you can find out this characteristic in the same “Status” menu. Otherwise, you should use the additional topic guides by following the links below. And if you need to find out the address of, say, a smartphone or tablet, then to do this you need to disconnect all other devices from the network.

Now you know that to limit access to a wireless network, you can not only disable it, but also configure control rules. If you simply want to prevent previously authorized users from being able to reconnect to the network, you can change the Wi-Fi password, after which they will be automatically disconnected without the possibility of reconnecting until a new access key is entered.

Detailed instructions

I also found a video with instructions for you:

Let's take a closer look at how to disable Wi-Fi on routers from TP-Link, Asus and D-Link using the last method, the most difficult. For routers of other brands, the instructions will be the same. The only difference is in the names of the web interface sections and the visual design of the menu.

To get into the settings of a router or modem to disable Wi-Fi, you need to open any browser installed on your computer and enter “192.168.1.1” (or another address indicated on the router itself) into the address bar. An authorization window will open. If the login and password have not been changed, then you can enter the standard values - “admin” in both fields. After this, the browser will open the settings.

On TP-Link you need to open the “Wireless” tab and remove the checkbox from “Enable Wireless Router Radio”. In the Russified version, the path is slightly different: “Wireless mode - Wireless mode settings”, the checkbox must be unchecked from “Enable wireless broadcasting”.

On Asus, you need to open the “Wireless Network - Professional” tabs located on the left. Move the “Enable radio module” control to the “Off” position. Also in ASUS you can configure the router to turn on and off according to a schedule.
On D-Link, go to the following tabs: “SETUP – Wireless Settings – Manual Wireless Connection Setup” and uncheck the “Enable Wireless” item. In the Russified version, you need to open “Wi-Fi – Basic settings” and uncheck the “Broadcast wireless network” checkbox.

After these steps, you need to save/apply the settings by clicking the appropriate button. Some routers will need to be rebooted.
