1) You can do that manually via the router's web interface; the wireless access point can be disabled when you're not using it. If security is your concern, there are multiple mechanisms you can configure to prevent unauthorized access, including MAC address based filtering. The access point also automatically adjusts its transmitting power based on the number and position of connected devices.
Thanks messanine. Regarding security, I also read I have the choice of either WEP or WPA (I read WPA is better), and also the ability to use encryption. Are all of the security options that you mention manageable through the router's web interface? Is the MAC address unique to each hardware or can it be cloned? I guess I can also unscrew the two antennas from the back of the unit when wireless is not in use for an added security. Thanks
