Can I negate my Wireless Router

I have a D-Link DI-514 Air 802.11bWireless Router. I have 3 computers running off this one router. All of the computers are tied in by a hard line and they are not using the Router by means of wireless.

There is a major corporation near by and they are transmitting a powerful signal that I believe is drowning my signal out at times.

Is there a way to change the settings of this Router to make it function only as a Router that uses a hard lines (wires)? I guess what I am asking may be is there a way to negate or disengage the wireles portion of the Router and make it function merely as a standard Router?

Thanks

Where and what are they tied into?

if you go into you routers configuration page (via a web browser), there is usually an option somewhere in there to disable the wireless function, i know there is in mine. It is just a little clicky box to turn it off.

Go to http://192.168.0.1 and login using your password (username should be 'admin'), if you havent set a password its usually blank.
Click on Wireless from the left and select Disabled... then Apply the settings.

FYI there is an emulator here: http://support.dlink.com/emulators/d..._wireless.html
