Hey I was wondering, can the wireless part of a wireless router be disabled while only using the 4 ports that are in the back of the belkin router with the dsl port?

I don't want wireless computers acessing the router only hardwired computers.

Speaking for me (D-Link DI624): Yes...Option: "Wireless Radio = Off"
Only use the 4-port switch since I re-routed my telephone/dsl connection ;)

I know on my linksys wireless router that the wireless can be turned off, so I would imagine your's can be as well.

Either fine the option to turn it off, or put a WEP pw on it and don't broadcast your ssid...

I don't have that particular wireless router, but I have had Linksys before, and currently have a NetGear, and both offer the option to disable wireless communications.
