Can you turn the wireless function off? I only want the hardwired router ports to work.

Not toy knowledge just make your network password protected and your golen People use to piggy off me and I put a stop to it that way

If you are using Windows XP, Vista, or Win 7, go to the control panel, system, and open Device Manager. The look for network adapters. You should have a listing for the wireless adapter. Right click and select properties. On the Advanced Tab, you should be able to select "disable". Accept the changes, and then reboot. This should disble the device.I never installed the adapter. If there is a power wire, you might try disconnecting so that it can't be powered.

Sometimes I need to reboot from the modem and reset the router, turn off and on the computer at the same time in order for the wireless oriented signal to match.

Yes, you need to buy a separate wireless router. I think it is called a W1000. I got mine pretty cheap though.

You have to go to ubee website for the router and hit default and make sure there's not another wireless router hook up to the ports you hit default settings and get the password for the wireless router and save after it comes up then hook another router if you have an extra one and make sure your cable provider didn't shut it off,i know they did that on the one in the house cause I have two the other I have it on my apartment and I'm able to run both wireless routers

You can turn it off on the router setup page. There is a check box to turn it off.

Hello Kathy. You can block wireless access to the router's settings by accessing the router's user interface and disabling Access via Wireless. It's under Management and Local Management Access. You can also try changing the router's password (not the wireless password) to prevent attempts to access the settings using Ethernet (wired).

Glad you got it fixed, but that didn't work for me. Pushing down hard (and holding down) the power button turns it off momentarily so perhaps the defect is in that area and you were able to fix yours by applying pressure while turning on/off the wireless. Would be interested to know if it works for anyone else. I've just gotten used to it being on at this point.

Yes, you can take out the wireless module and simply hardwire directly to your router. If you don't need wireless capability then you could save $$ by purchasing an Ooma without the adapter.

Yes, it has both hardwired (Cat5) and wireless capabilities, you just pick which one you want to use through menu options.

I have not had that problem myself however I didn't realize I could turn off the WIFI initially. Now that did throw me a curve, so I'm careful not to hit that key anymore. :)

You shouldn't have to. I turn mine off daily and it stays configured. A couple of times I have had to redo it, but mine is almost 300 ft. from the router.

I go into settings and wireless & networks will be the first you see! You should see the WiFi on/off switch! I usually have to turn it on that way

This may help. Looks like you can turn it off. http://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/modem-c1000a-wireless-wps-disable.html

Thank you. My other port is occupied by a wireless mouse receiver but I have figured out a solution. Your post was very helpful.

All modes except client mode include an advanced setting to Enable/Disable Wireless Access Point Isolation. "This function isolates all connected wireless stations so that wireless stations cannot access each other through WLAN. This function will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is enabled." There is a 270-page PDF User Guide at http://www.tp-link.com/resources/document/TL-WR710N(US_V1_User_Guide.pdf

Yes I am. When I turn off the wireless security, the TV will pick up the network. But I use my laptop and don't want a non-secure wi-fi network.
