> It looks like they are wireless. I didn't see a wired one. I use wired because I live just a few miles from a Air Force Base. They fly right over the house. They even knock out my satellite signal sometimes. I was told that having things wired should be fine but wireless could be fun to deal with. They fly close enough to me that I can see a helmet in the plane. They even wave at times. lol |

You could probably just disable the wireless interface, but it seems silly to buy such a good router only to do that. You should look on the OpenWRT wiki and find one of the wires-only routers they list as compatible. |

I feel networking to be a really important skill in computing, but it can be hard to diagnose problems if you're insulated from what's going on by a dumbass GUI. |
