    ADSL wireless router with wi-fi on/off button

    After an ADSL wireless modem router that has a button for wi-fi on/off.

    Only know of Netgear DG834Gv5 and DGN200, and Thomson TG585v7. Definitly don't want Thomson.

    Any other brands or models that have this feature.

    Is there any particular reason you can't turn it on/off via the router's web admin pages?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    the draytek vigour 2820 does.
    well, it definately has a wireless off button... on the one occasion of using it, it didnt seem to turn it back on again, but it may have been me being stupid...

    If wired connection PC is off (different user), and wireless laptop user decides to go online then it's better to have a simple button on/off on the router, especially after trying it with a TG585v7. And I don't want to leave wireless on constantly for it's minimal usage.

    The Draytek model looks too pricey for my needs, but handy to know of an additional model with the feature.
