1. Preparation: How to access your Dom.ru router settings

Before disabling Wi-Fi, you need to access the router's web interface. The equipment Dom.ru There are several features that are important to consider:

Login address It's usually listed on a sticker on the back or bottom of the router. For most models, this is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1If these addresses don't work, try dom.ru - Some new models support login via domain name.

Login and password By default, these are also indicated on the sticker. Most often, these are:

  • 🔑 Login: admin or user
  • 🔑 Password: admin, password or a unique code from a sticker (for example, DOMxxxxxx)

If you've previously changed your login details and forgot them, you'll need to reset your router to factory settings. To do this, hold down the button Reset (usually it is recessed into the body and requires a paper clip) 10-15 secondsuntil the indicators start flashing. Attention: This will delete all your settings, including your internet connection settings!

What should I do if I can't access settings?

If the login page does not open, check:

1. Connect to the router via cable (Wi-Fi may be disabled).

2. No VPN or proxy in the browser.

3. Try a different browser (for example, Mozilla Firefox).

4. Make sure that the computer's IP address is obtained automatically (DHCP).

After successfully logging in, you'll see the main interface page. The appearance may vary depending on the model, but the menu structure is generally similar. If the interface is in English, look for the flag in the upper right corner to change the language to Russian.

⚠️ Attention: Some routers Dom.ru Access to advanced Wi-Fi settings is blocked for subscribers with the "Smart Home" or "Unlimited" plans. In this case, you will need to call your provider's support team and request that administrator rights be unblocked.

2. Standard method: disabling Wi-Fi via the web interface

This is the most reliable and universal method that works on all router models from Dom.ruThe instructions are suitable for firmware Sagemcom, Sercomm And Huawei, which are most often installed by the provider.

Step 1. Find the section in the router menu Wi-Fi or Wireless networkIt can be located:

  • 📋 In the main menu on the left (for Sagemcom F@st 5364)
  • 📋 In the section Network → Wi-Fi (For Sercomm RV6699)
  • 📋 On the tab Home network (For Huawei HG8245H)

Step 2. In the submenu, select Basic settings or Wi-Fi settingsHere you will see a switch Turn on wireless network (or Enable Wireless (in the English version). Uncheck the box or move the slider to the position Off.

Step 3. Save the changes by clicking the button Apply, Save or OK (Depending on the model). The router will reboot and Wi-Fi will be disabled.

☑️ Check for Wi-Fi disconnection

Completed: 0 / 3

If Wi-Fi is still active after saving the settings, try force reboot the router, turning the power off and on again. In rare cases, changes are only applied after a full reboot.

⚠️ Attention: On some models (Huawei EchoLife) Disabling Wi-Fi via the web interface is blocked by your provider. In this case, use the alternative methods in the following sections.

3. Quick shutdown using the button on the router body

Many modern routers come with a physical Wi-Fi control button. This is convenient if you need to temporarily disable the network without accessing settings. However, not all models Dom.ru support this function - its availability depends on the hardware version.

How to find the button:

  • 🔍 Look for the button with the icon antennas or an inscription Wi-Fi/WPS.
  • 🔍 On some routers (Sercomm RV6699) this is a combination button Wi-Fi/WPS - hold her 3-5 secondsuntil the Wi-Fi indicator turns off.
  • 🔍 On the model Sagemcom F@st 5364 the button can be designated as Wireless On/Off.

Important nuances:

- Single press can turn on/off guest network only (if configured).

- On some routers the button only works when held down more than 5 seconds.

- If the button does not respond, check if it is blocked in the settings (System → Button Controls).

The advantage of this method is instant shutdown Without having to access the interface. However, after rebooting the router, Wi-Fi may re-enable (depending on the firmware).

4. Disabling Wi-Fi on a schedule (timer)

If you need to automatically turn off Wi-Fi at night or at a certain time (for example, to restrict children's access to the Internet), use the function schedulesIt is available on most routers. Dom.ru, but may be hidden in advanced settings.

Instructions for Sagemcom F@st 5364 And Sercomm RV6699:

  1. Go to Wi-Fi → Schedule or Wireless Network → Timer.
  2. Activate the option Enable schedule.
  3. Add a new rule by specifying:
    • 🕒 Start and end time of the shutdown (for example, from 23:00 to 07:00)
    • 📅 Days of the week (you can select individual days or all)
    • 🔄 Action: Turn off Wi-Fi
  • Save the settings.
  • Example of a schedule for saving energy:

    Day of the week Shutdown time Turn-on time Cause
    Mon–Fri 23:00 06:00 Energy saving
    Sat–Sun 01:00 08:00 Reducing network load
    Every day 12:00 13:00 Break to reduce interference

    If the schedule function is missing in your firmware, you can use alternative method: connect the router to a smart plug (for example, Xiaomi Mi Smart Plug) and set its timer to turn off the power at the desired time.

    ⚠️ Attention: When using a schedule, make sure the router's time is synchronized with the NTP server. If the date and time are out of sync, the timer will not work. Check the settings in the section System → Date/Time.

    5. Disabling Wi-Fi via Telnet or SSH (for advanced users)

    If the router's web interface is restricted by your provider, you can disable Wi-Fi via command lineThis method requires knowledge of working with Telnet/SSH and is only suitable for advanced users.

    Step 1. Enable Telnet access:

    • 🔧 Go to System → Control or Advanced → Remote Management.
    • 🔧 Turn on Telnet or SSH (if there is such a section).
    • 🔧 Write down the port (usually 23 for Telnet or 22 for SSH).

    Step 2. Connect to the router:

    - In Windows use PuTTY or built-in client Telnet (turns on through Control Panel → Programs and Features → Turn Windows features on or off).

    - On Linux/macOS, open Terminal and enter:

    telnet 192.168.0.1

    (replace IP with your router's address).

    Step 3. Run the commands to disable Wi-Fi:

    For most routers Dom.ru The following commands will work:

    enable
    

    config terminal

    interface wifi0

    shutdown

    exit

    write memory

    If after entering shutdown an error appears, try instead wifi0 use radio0 or ath0 — interface names may differ.

    How to get Wi-Fi back:

    Enter the same commands, but instead of shutdown use no shutdown.

    ⚠️ Attention: Incorrect commands in Telnet may disrupt the router's operation. If you're unsure of what you're doing, use the standard methods from the previous sections.

    6. Completely disabling the Wi-Fi module (for permanent blocking)

    If you need disable Wi-Fi permanently (For example, if you only use a wired connection), you can block the wireless module at the firmware level. This method is suitable for routers that don't use Wi-Fi on a primary basis.

    Method 1. Via the web interface (hidden settings):

    1. Go to System → Configuration or Advanced → Wireless.
    2. Find the option Wireless Radio or Enable Wireless And turn it off.
    3. Some firmware versions have a separate checkbox. Hide SSID - it can also be activated so that the network is not displayed in the list of available ones.

    Method 2. Changing the configuration file:

    This method requires access to the router's file system and is only suitable for advanced users.

    • 📄 Download the current configuration via System → Backup.
    • 📄 Open the file in a text editor and find the lines with wl0_ssid or radio0.
    • 📄 Replace the value enabled=1 on enabled=0.
    • 📄 Upload the modified file back to the router.

    Method 3. Physically disconnecting the antennas:

    If the router is disassemblable (for example, Sercomm RV6699), you can carefully disconnect the antenna cables from the board. This radical method, which will prevent you from being able to turn Wi-Fi back on without opening the case.

    7. Checking the disconnection and troubleshooting

    After disabling Wi-Fi, it's important to verify that the network is truly disabled. Here's how:

    How to check:

    • 📱 On your smartphone or laptop, refresh the list of available networks – your network should disappear.
    • 🖥️ Look at the router's indicators: light Wi-Fi or WLAN should go out or flash orange.
    • 🔍 In the router's web interface, check the status in the section Wi-Fi → Status.

    What to do if Wi-Fi is still working:

    Problem Possible cause Solution
    The network is visible, but you can't connect. Hidden network mode is enabled (Hide SSID) Disable the option Hide SSID in the settings
    Wi-Fi turns on after reboot Settings not saved or firmware failure Repeat the shutdown and reset the router
    The button on the case doesn't work The function is blocked in the settings. Check the section System → Button Controls

    If none of the methods worked, your router model may have locked settings from the provider's side. In this case, there are two options:

    1. Call support Dom.ru (the phone number is indicated on the router sticker) and request that the operator turn off Wi-Fi.
    2. Buy your own router and connect it in mode bridge (bridge), turning off Wi-Fi on the main device.

    FAQ: Frequently asked questions about disabling Wi-Fi on Dom.ru routers

    Is it possible to turn off Wi-Fi but leave the guest network?

    Yes, on most routers Dom.ru The main and guest networks are configured separately. Go to Wi-Fi → Guest Network and turn off only the main network (Primary SSID), leaving a check mark next to the guest.

    Will the cable internet work if I turn off Wi-Fi?

    Yes, disabling the wireless network will not affect your wired (Ethernet) connection. Your cable internet will continue to function normally.

    How do I disable Wi-Fi for specific devices only?

    Instead of completely shutting down the network, you can use MAC address filtering:

    1. Find the MAC addresses of the devices you want to block (they are listed in the network connection settings on the device).
    2. In the router's web interface, go to Wi-Fi → MAC Filter.
    3. Add addresses to the blacklist and save the settings.

    Why did my router start getting hotter after turning off Wi-Fi?

    This is normal: when the wireless network is active, some of the load is distributed to the Wi-Fi module. After it is disabled, the main load falls on the router's processor, which may slightly increase the temperature. If the router becomes excessively hot, check the ventilation and make sure it is not closed in a tight space.

    Is it possible to turn off Wi-Fi remotely if I'm not at home?

    Yes, if you have internet access to your router's web interface. To do this:

    1. Enable it in settings Remote control (Remote Management).
    2. Please enter your external IP address (you can find it on the website) 2ip.ru) and port (for example, 8080).
    3. Connect to the router through your browser by entering your_IP:port.
    Attention: This method is not secure - disable remote access after setup!
