Helix with Wired-Only setup, or how to turn off WiFi
A friend of mine just got off the phone with Videotron for Internet service but has yet to go with them until the below can be confirmed. They only want wired Internet services (Internet-supplying...
zorg Out of curiosity, why does it matter if the gateway puts out RF radiation when nobody can connect to the gateway through wi-fi? I doubt anyone could packet-sniff anything if that was the concern.
Hello ,
Most advanced settings can be accessed only through the Helix fi app, such as port redirection, but some settings can be accessed through the router page configuration. It's a case-by-case basis.
Through the configuration page of the router, you can activate the Bridge mode which deactivates most Wi-fi networks, however the "Lost and found" network , necessary for the TV terminals to function properly, cannot be turned off by any means.
This state persists through reboots
There are two Ethernet ports on the first itteration of the Helix Fi gateway, and four on the second Helix Fi Gateway (the white one) .Hi,
To answer you r question, for me (and many other persons), since I'm electro hypersensitive, it's important that there are no signal at all in the house. It's hard enough finding all the sources of RF without adding useless signals on top of it. Another point that most don't think about is the fact that if the Helix is transmitting for nothing, it is still using power so it's just wasting power for no reason (a good way to save the planet). And before you go on telling me that people with electro hypersensitivity are all kookoo in the head, you should know that it is part of environmental hypersensitivity in the "chartes des droits de la personne du Canada" and is consider a handicap. Also note that I have an official diagnostic from the CHUM.
