QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Feb 14 2020, 10:27 PM) That’s complete BS, but I do understand the older generation. You can turn off WiFi in your router, and just connect directly via Ethernet.QUOTE(rjmsfire @ Feb 14 2020, 10:59 PM) The fibre optic line comes into the house and connects to a Huawei Echolife HG8240H5 GPON Terminal. I called this the modem. An ethernet cable connects this to a Netis DL4480V1 AC1200 wireless dual band VDSL2 Gigabit VoIP IAD. I called this the router. Currently the PC is connected to this device through an ethernet cable. So I'd like to find a way to connect PC to either the Huawei or Netis device via ethernet cable without having to turn on wifi. The Netis device has no visible stick antenna, so can't use the remove antenna method. If I've got the modem and router terminology wrong, my apologies. I'm not very familiar with these things. I think this one makes more practical sense..i'm not a network guy but as far as i know, if you concern on the wifi connectivity at your home, can just switch it off via the settings at 192.168.0.1 (for maxis), then buy a long cat6 cable to connect directly to your device (ie, smart tv, pc, etc..) just my opinion..
