I am about to buy a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch. I plan on someday installing a wireless machine, and the price is low enough to warrant buying a combo box versus just the wired router.

What I want to do is confirm if there is the ability to disable the wireless protocol/access until I install this technology. In effect, simply restricting the BEFW11S4 to its 4-port wired feature.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

yes you can! just go to internet explorer. then on the address bar, type 192.168.1.1 then type in your password. if you haven't changed it, it's linksys. username is usually blank. on the setup tab, there's a wireless setting there, click disable. and that's it.

Excellent! Thank you - that worked!
