It appears the method I was using to turn off Wi-Fi no longer works but the alternative procedure holds and poses no issues.

So which method works and which one doesn't? They claimed to have fixed the wifi on/off problem, so it looks like they've only done a partial fix.

@YetAnotherAcc OK the one that works now is the button on the front of the device. Previously you could log on and disable it in the GUI. You can still do this but it does not stick when powered off and then back on.

Thanks. Had a bit of a play. After turning on, when wifi is off you have to press the button twice (about 10 seconds apart) for wifi to stay on.  So yeah, its a bit of a mess.

@reubot have you had your power supply replaced by optus recently? If not ask for a new one. There is a known fault with the power supplies on this router and there has been a campaign to replace many of them.
