What he's saying is that you cannot turn off the Wi-Fi used for the tv.I have my box wired in with cat5e and it still uses a hidden 5 GHz Wi-Fi.Letting go copper forever was never mentioned.

What if you run it in bridge mode?

But the hidden remains, even after doing that. If you go in Diagnostics, you'll see 5.0 is up.

A Faraday box shall do it.

If I go under Statistics/IGMP, I see that my FibeTV box is connected through RADIO5G although it is hardwired with Ethernet straight to the modem/router.
