Disabling wifi and using Ethernet .

[Silentdav]

Hi, I'm not technical at all so apologies if is obvious / doesn't make sense!

So, I want to disable wifi on my hub 3.0 router. I want to only use Ethernet cables to access the internet (on 2 smart TVs and a games console essentially) - I'm living with someone who believes wifi is evil! 😆

I logged in to the router (using an Ethernet cable and laptop) and managed to disable the Wi-Fi but when I connected the other devices by Ethernet cables to the ports at the back of the router, only the cable linked to my laptop was working. I went into the settings on the TV but they were suggesting that no Ethernet cables were detected. I tried different ports with no luck. 

The router was not in modem mode. So, I guess I'm asking whether it's possible to do what I want to do and if so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

I agree, unfortunately it's impossible to 'completely avoid' RF exposure. But it's definitely possible to 'limit' RF exposure.

If my phone has a WiFi and 5g transiever, I can turn off the wifi and reduce the amount of RF im being pummelled by. If I am not expecting any calls I can even disable my sim card to further reduce exposure. Yes RF is difficult to completely remove from modern life, but if I can reduce it by even 50% then that's a positive thing to me personally.

Laptop is even better, I don't have to worry about my WiFi chip being millimeteres away from my......... And as a bonus; Ethernet is 5 times faster than my WiFi.
