Wifi is a great feature that is going to rule the future generations , WiFi gives us freedom from wires and cables making life easier . But as every thing has advantages and disadvantages even this technology has many disadvantges which can be misused like 

  1. Unauthorized acess to internet throught your account 
  2. Steal vital details from your system.

And many more problems are associated which i haven't listed . Well many people here in INDIA have broadband modem's which are Wi Fi enabled but hardly use them or they leave it open even when not in use .

Well I am using BSNL Broadband connection and recently disabled the WiFi (as currently i dont need it) after knowing its dangers .

  2. Go to Advanced Setup 
  3. Click the Wireless (WiFi ) section
  4. Un check the enable check box 
  5. Click the Save Button 
  6. Restart your computer
Well thats it your done , you have successfully disabled the WiFi connection . To make sure you have done so check whether the WLAN light doesn't glows any more .
