How do you turn off the radio in a ubee modem?

I have been able to access the configuration pages at address 192.168.100.1, but I cannot see a setting identified with a field title that clearly is the radio-off command.

There are certain things you can't do yourself on Ubee modems, like bridging, turning radio on/off, etc...

Post in direct support forum with your modem MAC and BHNtechXpert will sort you out.

I always wondered why you can't do it yourself on the Ubees. Is this just how they are designed by Ubee? Any particular reason?

Your radios are already turned off as is your wifi...

Thanks Gary. I thought in the direct thread I was supposed to be going into device management interface to do it. I didn't think radio was on as I see no signal on my phone's wifi analyzer app.

But you had posted that list of channel interference it was detecting, so I was confused.

It is off. End of that story.

No worries....

Gary, is it possible to explain why Ubee has to be configured by the service provider? Does it have to do with how the firmware/activation is pushed to it? I really am curious. Nothing against you or Bright House, You always bridged it quickly. Just wondering. I was able to bridge a neighbor's Arris/Motorola one myself, never Ubees however. You know, "knowledge is power". Just wondering

Sure... the Motorola black box 6580, Ubee 3201, 3611 and Arris 852,862, 1670/72 models were never intended to be sold retail in the first place. They are provider only modems and designed to work with our billing and entitlement systems accordingly.

I understand that, however the Motorola 6580 is bridgable by the user unlike the Ubees. I know this because I did my neighbors and the info for how to do it can be found by google. Why is the Ubee "locked" to the end user unlike the Motorola? I am not trying to bash you or Bright House, just curious why the Ubee does not let us do it ourselves. I did google the Ubee and found a "master login" to be able to configure it; however it did not work on either of the Ubees I have used...

This was decision made long ago (Ubee) at the request of provider customers meaning ISP's. The reasoning behind it however I cannot say, was not in those discussions at the time. If I had to guess as to the reasoning why it probably related to the extra support involved when people don't do it right or put substandard routers into the network environment thus impacting the providers service when in fact it has nothing to do with the providers service at all...it's that cheap POS router that the customer connected not knowing any better. It has been changed in later models and firmware.

ahh ok. makes sense. thanks for the explanation!
