boatanchors I would like to disable the wireless connection on my ASIAIR Plus
While you cannot disable WiFi, you can terminate the SMA connector with a 50 ohm terminator, so that it can neither transmit or receive anything. (The wasted power is negligible, in case you are a tree hugger. :-)
You cannot be hacked unless the hacker is right next to the ASIAIR. And you won't be polluting the neighborhood with more RF.
Don't ever leave that RF connector on ASIAIR open or shorted -- you can burn the WiFi chip out. Just use a 50 ohm terminator like this one:

Get a good quality terminator that works beyond 6 GHz. Amphenol, MIni-Circuits Labs, etc.
Be sure not to erroneously buy a shorting SMA cap. It has to be a 50 ohm terminator. And make sure it has a male pin.
