My understanding (which may be incorrect) is that when you are using the C-8 on a wired network that you should not use the wifi. How do you turn off the wifi?
I originally set my c-8 up for wifi as I wanted it more centrally located to deal with some zigbee issues.
I have since relocated the hub back closer to my router and plugged it in to both backup power and the network. However, the wifi is still on.
I don't see any setting to turn it off. I tried connecting to a neighbor's network with an incorrect password, but as soon as the connection failed it went right back to my network.
Q1) Is it possible to turn it off?
Q2) Is there really a benefit to turning it off?
Q3) How do I turn it off?
My C8 does not show the "Disconnect Wi-Fi" shown above. Perhaps that is because my hub is not currently connected to WiFi ( I use Ethernet). But it does say "WiFi is Detected" at the top of that page, which means the WiFi radio is active.
While that results in a bit of network traffic, I am more concerned about having yet another point of entry into my network, I would really like to be able to TURN OFF the WiFi radio!!!!
Do you mean because it says "Wi-Fi is detected"? I think that just means because it sees the Wi-Fi chip. This may seem odd on a C-8, but C-7 and C-5 have the option to use an external adapter, so this status is more meaningful for those models.
