Turning off WiFi on Hopper 3

[fmj77]

Any way to disconnect my Hopper from WiFi? I cannot find an option to turn it off and when I try "reset network" it just automatically reconnects.

Try this:
Go to the Diagnostics menu (54 remote press Home button three times, 40.0 remote press Menu button two times), select Internet #2, then select Internet Settings #7. Press the Info and then the Recall button. A window Clear Wireless Settings #1512 will pop open asking if you want to clear wireless settings. Press Yes.

If that doesn't work try try using the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard. When you got to the enter Network Password use an incorrect password and see if that will disconnect your WiFi.

Thanks! It worked!

I'm curious. I assume that like me you have an ethernet cord plugged into your hopper. Is there any advantage to turning off the wifi?

I have ethernet to Hopper3.
I also have wifi w/correct password.

When I go to the internet connections,
LAN is connection type
And wifi shows as disabled/not connected.

If I 'accidentally' pull the ethernet,
The wifi automatically activates.

With that info in mind,
Having both properly connected,
The Hopper 3 defaults to ethernet.

Ethernet is prefered over wifi because,
Dedicated connection,
Less traffic,
Faster connection speed.

That's why I keep mine. Why would you not?
