Instructions for turning your router’s Wi-Fi off will vary by Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer.
On some routers and modem-router combo units, there may be a physical switch or button to turn off the WiFi. Typically though, you will have to follow the following steps:
- From a device connected to your non-Plume network, open a web browser and go to your router’s web interface. You should be able to find the link through your router or service provider’s webpage.
- Log in with the username and password (typically the default one provided by the manufacturer).
- From this interface, look for settings, and you should have the ability to turn off Wi-Fi on the device. After the change has been saved, your router should restart.
- After disabling Wi-Fi on your other router combo, devices should automatically connect to Plume.
