How to disable wireless?

[davejuk]

EA6900 running 380.58

I only need a wired router; how do I disable wireless?

Thanks

Yes, 380.58 on a Linksys EA6900. Why, is that unusual?

I understand now. Under the Professional Tab in Wireless, I have an option to Enable/Disable Radio . I had tried that option but I see that I need to disable it seperately for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands don't I.

ASUS don't support Linksys thats unusual.

You may need to check your configuration. Asus firmware doesn't support Linksys hardware.

RMerlin, john95527 or hggomes,

Is it even possible to flash Asus' RMerlin's firmware on a Linksys? (I don't think so).

 

[hggomes]

Yes it is, XVortex / Cross-WRT FW (RMerlin Fork), Linksys, Netgear, Huawei and probably some others that I can't recall...

I'm quite surprised, this is really old news now.

News to me. I wouldn't use a Linksys product even if it was provided at no cost.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I guess some people still consider alot more critical being able increase the txpower on the radios, which by the way it was always and still possible running any older FW (ASUS stock, Merlin, John, others) instead having the software (ASUSWRT) running on a bunch of competitors devices like Linksys, Huawei and Netgear, including running licensed software like Trendmicro on them.

Looking at original Netgear/Linksys FW's software I guess I shouldn't blame users for using ASUSWRT on them at all, it's kinda a 10 and a 0 (zero).

Wonder if they ever worked around the CFE issues the the EA6900 - DDWRT can run on it, but a CFE bug there was limiting NVRAM area to 32K, which I don't know if that was ever fixed...

Mixed feelings on Linksys - the hardware on their higher end consumer devices is quite good - but the software, in my humble opinion, needs a lot of help with the Linksys SmartWifi stuff...
