I am following up to your reply that it can access Wi-Fi but will not work unless linked to a wireless router and enabled. I understand that. I appreciate the quick response. Let me rephrase my question. Is there a certain combination of buttons to press or hold for x amount of seconds that would disable the Wi-Fi totally? Maybe one has to log into the device first, and then there may be a menu selection to deactivate the transmissions. Without getting too technical, by design wi-fi devices are constantly seeking a wireless router and thus may be creating unnecessary wireless traffic that can interfere with other devices. Best practice is to turn off the wi-fi if it is not in use. Thus the unnecessary wireless traffic is turned off and it can help shore up home security in case someone tries to hack in. I am sure there are safeguards in place, but the idea is to minimize the opportunity. Most wi-fi devices like laptops, computers, ipads, cellphones have a software menu setting that can be set so that the wi-fi device can be deactivated and will stop seeking a wireless router. The wi-fi device itself is completely turned off. Back in the olden days devices used to have a physical switch or jumper setting on the electronics module to turn it off/on. Maybe LG has some hidden "switch". Thanks,
