Don't need the ON/OFF button either. Spend the extra money on getting the firmware right.

Yes it was a small but ultimately persuasive selling point for me - there are times when I need to switch off the wi-fi, but don't have the time to log into the router (or sometimes after a very long time working with networks, I don't have the inclination :) )

There are lot of bugs/issues with TP-Link. May be developing a robust firmware will help a lot...

Yes, it is a quick way to ensure that only wired connections are in use

yes, very definitely. it's a selling point for me. who has time to log into the router every time just to switch on/off wifi??? most irritating without the hard switch, period.

Like others said .. a robust firmware is the best offer ..but like MStaples said we don't always have the time to log in to change the settings ...a physical wifi switch is definitely needed to save time ...
