I just got my Unifi a few days. My DIR-615 has firmware version 7.05. I have been trying to find the page to disable the Wi-Fi radio because I only use the RJ45 ports.
Do the earlier versions have the disable Wi-Fi option? Or is there such an option in 7.05? |

QUOTE(rizvanrp @ Jul 19 2010, 12:31 PM) Untick that to disable the WiFi radio No SSID means Wi-Fi disabled? That interface is not very intuitive isn't it?  With Bluetooth, you may hide the name, but that doesn't disable the bluetooth radio, and gadgets may still connect to it. But I guess disabling a name is different from not broadcasting a name, so you may be right. Unless I have one of those keychain Wi-Fi detectors and cover the router with a piece of aluminium foil, there's no easy way to know if the radio is truly off. Anyway, thanks for the tip. |

QUOTE(rizvanrp @ Jul 19 2010, 03:42 PM) I know right? I couldn't find it myself at first.. another forumer pointed it out to us in the Unifi thread V2 or something. The original firmware for the DIR-615 has on/off radio buttons for 'Wireless Radio', this TM firmware.. well you know lar, lol I ssh into 192.168.0.1 and checked using ifconfig and found that network interface ra0 has indeed been removed. So, I guess this is the confirmed way to disable the radio.You'll notice that when you untick this, the wireless symbol on the DIR-615 which normally glows green turns off completely so I assume its off and not just disabling SSID broadcast or something. For added security, I just turn down the transmit power to its lowest setting + keep the WPA2 key on it. I don't have a monitor-mode capable wifi card with me so I can't run airodump and ensure that it's not just turning off the SSID but from the looks of it, its totally off after you untick this. Another easier method would be to just telnet/ssh into the router and check the status of the wifi card and everything but I'm too lazy to unbox my DIR-615 at the moment. Furthermore, this is the default option when you reset the dir-615 and the wifi is completely disabled but with this router.. who knows  |
