said by Hall:Are you thinking it will simply be an unnamed WiFi access point when you uncheck that and someone could still access it ?
That is not what I am worried about. I do not want an additional, unneeded radio broadcasting adding interference. Several years ago I wanted to use an 802.11B wireless router as a wired router but found that unchecking the enable radio check box did not power down the radio, it only disconnected the radio from the network. The radio kept broadcasting the SSID even though one could not connect to the network. I had two 802.11G access points that I wanted to use. I wound up using a wired router.
