Could you please explain why you'd want to turn the Wi-Fi off on the Almond? As it's a Wi-Fi router, this doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'm afraid I'm with the original poster on this issue. 

I would like to see a TouchUI option to toggle the Wi-Fi Radios on/off,   and would also like support for cron events to do this as a scheduled task.  Consider this a "security" request.  Many corporate,  and Internet Cafe owners will want the ability to disable Wi-Fi during "quiet hours".   They'll still want the "wired" connections to work,   so that Servers etc can still  perform Cloud-based Backup solutons etc,  or backups to remote servers etc,  but may prefer to not give non-customers "free Intenret access via Wi-Fi during their non-operational hours.   

As a Home user,  I am unlikely to use this functionality here,  but as I intend to recommend Almond+ for my consulting clients,   these are very important features to have in the Router.   Please implement both of these in the Almond+.

I would really like to have the option to turn off the WIFI as well.  I want to use the Almond as a router, but since it doesn't have 5Ghz I am resorting to using another WIFI and I don't want the Almond to be clogging up the 2.4 Ghz spectrum.  Looking forward to Almond+ but in the meantime, I need to use another access point.   Please include the option to turn off WIFI.
