I want to turn off wi-fi and have ethernet access to the gateway

Add me to the chorus of people that want ethernet access to admin the gateway. I don't want to use an app. I'm not an app guy. I hate apps actually.

I am a somewhat advanced user and I use my own hardware firewall/security appliance that I administer on my own LAN and my own wi-fi access points, so I have no need for the gateway wi-fi. I don't use it and, of course, it will conflict with my wi-fi channels/signal.

Please give us a simple admin page on the modem where I can log in via wire and turn the wi-fi on/off. I think you will make a lot of people very happy.

This would preclude people from using the app as my phones are also on my wi-fi so I could access the gateway from a phone on my LAN via wi-fi. So you'll still have app usage and you won't lose anything.

Please - please!

I agree 100%.  I administer networks at work and it makes me insane that I can't manage my home gateway from my PC. I also avoid iOS/Android as much as possible but that's getting more and more difficult.
