Roku Ultra 2024 / disable WiFi completely
Hello , i am inquiring this model hoping to buy, would like to use the Ultra in wired mode< is it possible to disable the WiFi completely doing so? also the WiFi Direct for the remotePro? ...
Forum Discussion
You could buy another IR-only remote (e.g. Roku Simple/Basic Remote), and you could disable WiFi Direct, but you could never disable WiFi/BT/wireless in general (no such ability).
there should be a secret code inserted via remote to disable the WiFi AP on the RoKU,
it has been shared in an earlier thread on Roku Ultra 2020 if iam not mistaken.
Yes, you are mistaken: Unfortunately there is no "Secret Screen" with a setting/option to disable WiFi (there are "Secret Screens", but there is no such setting to disable wireless/WiFi/BT on them), despite what you think any previous posts in previous threads stated (read the entire thread(s) and you'll understand).
The best you can do is to disable WiFi Direct as previously stated, but this doesn't disable WiFi and/or BT and/or wireless in general (and it doesn't de-activate the wireless SoC in the hardware).
very disappointing,
but will relieve me burden to import ROKU ultra into country.
did find this code here but the previous post could n not find (might need more torough search).
Home x5 fwd play back play forward. Disable in that menu. And wifi scan shows it’s no longer there.
Again, you have to read the entire thread (you cant stop reading @ that post).
Yes, that remote button sequence opens the "Platform Secret Screen", but there is no option there or within any of submenus to disable WiFi (or wireless) - it doesnt exist. That person referred to information obtained from a website using incorrect very outdated information that only ever applied to models/firmware versions from 10+ years ago. It is inapplicable with modern models released in the last decade or so with modern RokuOS versions (both the hardware and RokuOS have long since changed).
Again, at best you can disable WiFi Direct (via the Device Connect setting), but that doesn't disable WiFi or BT or wireless in general (and certainly doesn't disable the hardware WiFi SoC).
