Verizon FiOS<\/span><\/a> internet is, according to <\/span>speedtest.net<\/span><\/a> among the best in the US when it comes to both \u2013 internet speed and connection reliability. The fiber optic connection deviates from traditional cabling connections that carry lesser information and are slower. However, since Fios uses relatively unfamiliar equipment, some might find it challenging to operate. Therefore, we look at the various methods for <\/span>disabling the wireless connection<\/span><\/a> on Verizon FiOS.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Ways to Turn off Fios Wi-Fi at Night<\/h2>\n

There are three distinct ways to turn off<\/a> Verizon Wi-Fi. They are: <\/span><\/p>\n

Using the Router\u2019s Management Page<\/h3>\n

Log into your router management page using a Web browser on your computer using the address <\/span>192.168.1.1<\/span><\/a> (which is the <\/span>default IP address for most Fios routers<\/span><\/a>) or <\/span>mynetworksettings.com<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

To access <\/span>Verizon\u2019s 5G<\/span><\/a> router management page, you can also use <\/span>http:\/\/my.router\/<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you log in to the user interface, your browser might warn you that the connection is not private. Click on the <\/span>Advanced<\/b> button and proceed to the user interface site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use the username and password on the side of the FiOS router to access the router’s settings. Next, Go to <\/span>the Wi-Fi <\/b>option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Click on the <\/span>Primary Network <\/b>option to access your network settings. It will show you both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. <\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, you can either disable one or both of the network bands, depending on your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncheck both boxes and click <\/span>apply<\/b> to finalize the settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Primary<\/p>\n

On some routers, you can also switch both (or all three) Wi-Fi bands off simultaneously by clicking on the <\/span>Wi-Fi enabled<\/b> option and moving the selector to off. The option is at the top right corner of the user interface page.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>broadcasting <\/b>option under the primary network tab also allows you to switch to Wi-Fi, although not in the usual sense. If you uncheck the broadcast option, devices will not find your network name when searching for Wi-Fi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the option will not switch off Wi-Fi<\/a>, but it will hide your network name, preventing additional unauthorized connections. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you wish to kick out particular devices from the network, you can also do that. Click on the <\/span>device access list<\/b> option or Access Control option (depending on the router model). Then you have options to allow or deny devices from connecting to your FiOS router.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"device<\/p>\n

The device access list allows you to add the MAC addresses of particular devices, and you can either <\/span>block<\/span><\/a> or allow them to access the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MAC<\/p>\n

Be careful when dealing with these settings and if they become challenging, ask for help from a well-versed technician. Alternatively, click here for the <\/span>FiOS router user manual<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the basic settings tab, you can activate or deactivate various Wi-Fi configurations by shifting the slider to either way. Such configurations include<\/span> IoT<\/b> and the <\/span>Guest Network<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

After updating the settings, always remember to click on apply changes to make the settings effective.<\/span><\/p>\n
