Is there a way to turn off the wireless transmission while keeping the wired connections live? I would like to turn off wireless at night.

There sure is! Simple setting when you log into the router's software. I turned mine off at night as well. Great router!

I think it can be con neglected to an existing wired system. Not sure about wireless. Do not buy this model. Very buggy. If you buy, get newer version

Yes I am. When I turn off the wireless security, the TV will pick up the network. But I use my laptop and don't want a non-secure wi-fi network.

Go into System Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. Then go into Network Adapters, right click Atheros Wireless Network Adapter and choose Properties. In properties go to the Advanced tab, click on Power Save Mode and turn it off! No more issues since I turned it off and it even reactivated my wifi! I have not tried/tested the Normal setting yet, but it may also work. Apparently the power save feature of the network card glitches out and you can disable that useless feature.

You can turn it off on the router setup page. There is a check box to turn it off.

These answers are not correct. You can log into the system settings using the IP address provided and turn off the wireless portion and connect it to an external router.

Disabling broadcasting is not a substitute for wireless security such as encryption and MAC filtering. Your non-broadcast network can still be detected and listened to by anyone with easily downloaded software: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726942.aspx ("Why Non-broadcast Networks are not a Security Feature")

I believe it is because the cable box is "always on". So even if you turn it off or not the receiver still thinks it is on so it doesn't switch back to it because it doesn't receive a new signal to switch to. This is my understanding anyway. Not sure if there is a workaround for this.

That's Great I like that I'll keep you posted. Next question, Is there any wireless cameras or Do you have any wireless cameras so I could hide them in a particular areas? And Also so they won't see any wiring.

I returned this product because the IP cameras will lose all wireless configuration after they are powered off. I am using Logitech's security system. You just plug in the camera's power adapter in your wall socket, then the camera signal will be transmitted to a receiver adapter (comes with the system, you plug it in your wall socket as well) via your power line, the receiver adapter is connected to your router. Here is the product Logitech Alert 750e Outdoor Master Security Camera System with Night Vision (961-000337) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) it is more expensive, but is very stable and good quality.

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?

I have not had that problem myself however I didn't realize I could turn off the WIFI initially. Now that did throw me a curve, so I'm careful not to hit that key anymore. :)

Is this question in reference to something else? I don't know what "wireless issue" you're talking about. And, no, the booster doesn't have to be plugged in to anything but an electrical outlet.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

I rarely use the wireless function of this device. It does seem to have rather poor connectivity via wireless LAN. Wired connections on the other hand have been nothing less than perfect for me. Ask your cable company to send you to level two support or equivalent. The techs there should be able to do more for you and possibly update firmware and send you recursive packet that should help stabilize your connection. Level one support will only try to schedule a technical visit or tell you that you are SOL.

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

The wireless was a problem but now it is solved! Go to windows update and press custom. There is Atheros update there that solves the problem. Everyone is making this out to be a deal breaker but after updating with this I can go more than 35 feet from the hot spot and get "Very Good" reception.
