Disabling the wireless for WRT160N

I install just the WRT160N and it uses mainly as a wired router for my network domestic.

I am not wanting to use the wireless network and I'm wanting to turn it off because of the risk to the health of my children.

How can I make sure that the wireless component is not enabled, all being able to use the wired connection.

Thank you

Thanks for the reply. This was very helpful

  • I want to disable the motherboard for a Pavilion p6232p video driver

    I need to turn off or disable the driver for the card on mother built in video card in a p6232p of Pavalion.

    The manufacturers motherboard is an Asus IPIBL-LB

    I bought a GE Force 620 Nivida GT video card. I installed it. Then, I ordered a 400 watt power supply to replace the 300 watts delivered with the p6232p. I put everything back together and then I read the installation

    Once again the instructions and I saw that everything built the onboard video drivers supplied with the p6232p had to be disabled. I was frustrated and hung on my monitor for the new card (Nividia GT 620).

    I booted up and everything worked fine. I then installed the CD supplied with the card and it worked as well. BUT! the installation instructions were to remove the old video card or disable any motherboard built

    among drivers. So, that's what worry me because when I started first with the new pc card took control without any installation disc. There is no connection to the old pc blue monitor connector. Maybe I could check the list of devices to see if the drivers are always active. Thank you for your response, cajanpepper

  • 5660 envy: envy 5660 disable the wireless SSID

    I have the printer connected via USB, do not have a Wi - Fi connection.  The printer always broadcasting a SSID, even though the wireless feature is set to OFF.  I looked on these forums and looked through the manual and nothing works to turn off the SSID of the printer braodcast.  How can I disable the SSID?

    Hi @divot71,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you want to disable the SSID wireless with your printer HP Envy 5660. I'm happy to help you!

    If the wireless function is set to off, the only other function I can think. Is to disable direct wireless as well. According to this guide, printing with a Wi-Fi Direct, she says: most HP printers wireless released in late 2014 and later support Wi - Fi Direct. Printers compatible with touchscreen control panels have a Wi - Fi Direct icon (). If your printer control panel does not have the icon, go to the menu of the Network Configuration or the wireless settings and confirm if an item of menu Wi - Fi Direct is displayed.

    I hope that solves your problem!

  • Is there a configuration parameter that can be set so that the various web pages can NOT disable the ability for the latest data from the Clipboard in a field instead of typing

    Occasionally various websites have forms to fill out. Frequently, the password field and the ability to paste from the Clipboard is disabled. Since I use a password manager and generate passwords as mN0ZJ1Pj (generated example for display) she would like to be able to paste the password because there is less tendency for me for spelling errors.

    I would like to know if there is a configuration setting that causes the instructions on the web site to disable the ability to stick to be ignored. My position is that it's MY computer and I should be able to do what I want on my end.

    Thank you.

  • How can I disable the search for 3 ~ 'guess' in the address bar, above the suggestions of my story?

    In the new version of Firefox, when I start typing something in the address bar, instead of display the suggestions of my story, it shows 3 ~ ' popular search strings ", as in the Google search bar (for example if I type"a", it shows aol mail aol and amazon). I find this very irritating feature, is there a way I can disable the seach assumptions, so I can browse my pages of the story as before?

    Thank you!

  • Disable the touchscreen for TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j173cl Notebook PC

    The laptop:

    HP Envy TouchSmart 15 (15-j173cl) PC notebook

    Windows 8.1 Pro

    The problem:

    I use an external monitor, so my laptop is usually closed.  Randomly, my touchscreen think something is in contact with her, which disrupts everything I do.  I would like to completely disable the touch screen, because I do not use it.

    I thought that maybe the lock was not shut down properly, but the screen resolution changes when I close the laptop, so that it KNOWS that it is closed and switches to the right resolution for my external screen, but it IS NOT to disable the touch screen, and little land or something is in contact with it, changing where my mouse is pointed where I type, etc.

    I tried to clean the screen and the keyboard with compressed air.

    The problem occurs randomly; Sometimes, when I'm CAD for the day, sometimes after hours of work.

    Hello, @rockspeak

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see you want to disable the touch function in your display for portable computers. I will help you with that.

    You can do this by going to Device Manager > click on the + or > by Human Interface Devices > right click on the touch screen to HID-compliant > choose disable. This will have disabled the touch capability.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

  • Disable the wireless on/off switch

    Hello

    Anyone know if it is possible to turn off the power switch for the wireless adapter?

    We are a school and we have 32 Tecra S1s using students. As I often get called because they cannot log on to the support person, when I'm there I found that the wireless has been turned off.

    So if it is possible to force the wireless to stay lit regardless of the position of this switch, it would be extremely beneficial to us.

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    Hello Mike

    A product must be designed on the way to offer both options and each single user can make the decision to use mode ON or OFF. As you know, it is important to reduce the power consumption in battery mode.

    As far as I know there are not any type of only ON switch and I can imagine just this notebook must be disassembled and connect directly to the motherboard. I recommend you to call Toshiba technicians in your country and explain the situation. I'm sure they can you give some advice or help you do what you want.

    Otherwise you have to give a training all teachers to explain to children how to start with the WLAN use on laptops.

  • Disable the search for news in the Iphone

    Is there a way to disable the news listing in the iOS which appears when you enter the menu to search for your iphone? (forgive me if my terminology is inaccurate: I am referring in the menu that appears when you slide the screen down, or move to the screen on the left in the iphone) Currently, there is only the possibility to disable the 'News' application, but I'm not aware of any possibility to remove new research in the search menu.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I also had this issue. After some googling I discovered the solution: go to settings > general > Spotlight search. A huge list of apps is listed here under "Search results" and new is one of them. You can press the switch to turn it off.

    I hope this works for you and answer your question!
