The TG582n supports 802.11b, g, and n with a single radio instance on 2.4 GHz. However its maximum speed on 802.11n appears to be 65Mbit/s, which isn't much of an improvement over 802.11g.

Disable WiFi (Wireless)

Via HTTP interface - Home Network - WLAN - Configure - untick WLAN Enable, click Apply

You can also press the WiFi button on the router to enable/disable the WiFi in the same way. Note that if you have configured multiple SSIDs (as per the next section) then the WiFi button on the router only enables/disables the first of the SSIDs (i.e. ssid_id = 0).

Adding extra SSIDs

The router only has one WiFi radio instance, but it is possible to configure up to 4 SSIDs on that radio instance. This can be useful in a number of scenarios:

One has a single device which can only do WEP authentication, and one doesn't want to allow WEP for all devices
One wishes to provide guest access, but the guests shouldn't have access to one's LAN
One wishes to easily switch a WiFi client between two (or more) configurations

See http://web.archive.org/web/20160723055447/http://npr.me.uk/advdmz.html for instructions. Note that the any option controls broadcasting of the SSID.
