Technicolor TG 582N question

Hi there!

I am currently switching utilities providers. My router doesn't work with the new company and so they are sending me a Technicolor TG 582N.

Everything I see on the net suggests this is a wireless router.

Does anyone know if I can turn off the wireless? I don't want to use wifi around the home. I don't mind occasionally but I'm on the computer for many hours at a time and I prefer to be hard wired....and heed some of the health warnings about over use of wifi. I know some people think this is eccentric, but I get heart palpitations and arrhythmias and wifi has been linked to that (in certain people)

Thanks if anyone knows :)

    Yes you can switch it off. You can also set times when you want the wireless to be on and off.

    2 on/off programs.

    There is also a button on the front. Hold for about 5 seconds to turn it on and off.


    WIFI uses 2.4GHz the same as a lot of radio controlled devices, Bluetooth, Car alarms, Mobiles, Microwaves etc etc...
