Roku TV Disable WiFi (PERMANENTLY)
I own the 32" TCL 4k TV. I don't have an RF meter so can't verify this 100% but in another discussion thread on this same topic, someone said the following:

Thanks for letting me recognise, marty. Considering the fact that you've got an RF meter and have virtually tested RF emission earlier than and after, it appears clear it is sufficient to remove the ribbon cable to absolutely disable the wifi and the ip website - so I'll leave the black wire by myself.
Back to the original question....
How do you disconnect the Roku's (not the tv) wifi?
I have the 2020 one that has ethernet port, but there is no way to disable wifi from Roku. I just want to cut something to disable/de-power the antenna broadcast and be done with it...
Will this affect the remote control? Seems the remote is wifi also, so these people are **bleep** bent to radiate us all with no remorse....
Go to Home, Settings, System, Advanced system settings, Device Connect. Check Disable Device connect.
That disabled the wifi for me, I checked it with my meter. And check it occasionally, people have said that it turns itself back on, but that never happened for me.
I can't speak to the remote still working because I don't use the RF voice remote that comes with Roku Ultras, they emit RF constantly, so I use the Roku Simple Remote, you can buy them through Roku and sometimes ebay has them, but be sure they are originals and have the little roku tag on the bottom.
They don't power the tv off and on, they don't have volume control, and you can't talk to it, but I don't mind, I just use the TV remote for those functions.
Thanks. I think I did this. When i first had roku on I could see the ssid broadcast on my phone (with my phone wifi turned on), and it was a full strength signal. Now I do not see the ssid, but I do not have a meter to check to know if I turned off the actual wifi broadcast or just the ssid broadcast...
I watched one of the vids to unplug the wifi. If the antenna says "wifi" as did the tv in the video then it will be easy.... All he did was unplug the "wifi" module and the bluetooth module. Roku is much more small and compact, so might be more difficult to get to anything. Anyone unplugged anything in Roku?
What is this roku remote? Is is wifi? bluetooth?
I will look for the simple remote you suggest. I have sound through external speakers, so really only need the most simple of remotes. I see $5 ones on Ebay, is this the "simple" one?
