Thanks for your reply. I accept what you say and my concern isn't about the security or bandwidth aspects of BT WiFi. The problem is that the master socket and router are located within about half a metre of my computer desk and where I sit. It isn't easy to move either the router or the computer desk. However, I don't want to sit so close to something emitting wireless signals.
Previously, I was using a router with all the wireless turned off and this was linked via ethernet to a wireless access point in another location. I would continue to use another router but I can't because I have been moved across to digital voice and that only works with the Smart Hub 2.
If I can't turn off BT WiFi, which today becomes EE WiFi, as I have switched to EE, I shall be forced to move the router. I don't particularly want to pay to have the master socket moved as eventually full fibre will be available in my area. The only alternative I can see is to use a longer lead between the master socket and the router. Most of the technical experts advise against this and say that it reduces the speed of the broadband.
Why can't BT/EE simply provide an option in the router interface to turn BT/EE WiFi off?
The whole concept of BT WiFi is outdated, as most people have data access via their mobile and so many locations (hotels, clubs, coffee shops, shopping centres, garden centres, airports, motorway services, etc.) provide guest access to their WiFi.
