i want to disable my wireless router and only have it run like a wired router. I'm using a linksys BEFW11S4. What's the best way? Just manually take off those antennas? I want to guarantee no one will steal my dsl

There is just a setting to disable it on the first page of the configuration pages I believe....

Taking off the antennas is also not a bad idea in addition to disabling it in the configuration. That way if the config gets reset for some reason and you forget to disable the wireless portion, the effective range of the wireless is a couple of yards at best.
