* An ongoing debate between Ed Vance and All rages on ...   
      
    EV> As I asked above, Can the Wi-Fi part of a Broadband Router be turned   
    EV> OFF by me?   Thanks for reading.   
      
   Yes. Disabling the SSID would leave WiFi on but hidden unless you know the    
   router name. I would forget the SSID and just switch WiFi off altogether!   
      
   Connect a hardline, if not already, to router and surf to it (usually    
   http://192.168.1.1), enter ID & PW (mine 1st time was admin, no PW) then find    
   the Wireless section and just turn it off. :) Remember to save changes and I    
   always backup the router config to my HD.
