Hey everyone i have a wireless internet card in my tower and i dont want to use it. I have a hardwired connection set upp that is 10000 times faster lol. But when i plug it in(it goes through my router which has to stay on)my wireless internet just takes over and it soooo slow.
How can i shut my wireless card off?
THanks

Why not take it out? Then it will not bother you, and spend less resources.
