Hi Solla-topee,

Thank you for your reply.

Just to clarify my feature request: I would like the Tether app to allow me to remotely turn off all Wi-Fi networks on the TL-MR6400 while keeping the 4G/mobile Internet connection and remote Tether management active.

I would also like to be able to turn the Wi-Fi back on remotely later, without needing access to the router's web management page or being physically near the router.

Could you please confirm whether the current Tether app already supports this functionality when the phone is using mobile data? If not, could this feature be considered for a future Tether/firmware update?

Best regards,

Ahmad

Hi Solla-topee,

Thank you for your reply. I followed your recommended test exactly. I disabled Wi-Fi on my phone, switched to mobile data, and accessed the TL-MR6400 remotely through the Tether app.

However, when I tried to disable the last active Wi-Fi network, Tether displayed the following message:

“Keep at least one wireless network enabled to use this app. To disable all networks, please go to the web management page.”

Therefore, the test confirms that I cannot currently turn off all Wi-Fi networks remotely through the Tether app, while keeping the 4G/mobile Internet connection and remote Tether management active.

Since you mentioned that the TL-MR6400 currently supports remotely turning off Wi-Fi networks via Tether, could you please clarify whether turning off all Wi-Fi networks remotely while keeping the 4G connection and Tether remote management active is actually supported?

If it is supported, please provide the exact steps or settings required to perform this function. If it is not supported under these conditions, please confirm this clearly.

Thank you for your clarification and assistance.

Best regards,

Ahmad

Hi Solla-topee,

Thank you for the clarification.

The reason for my feature request is not simply for testing purposes. I would like to be able to temporarily turn off all Wi-Fi networks on the TL-MR6400 when Wi-Fi is not needed, while keeping the 4G/mobile Internet connection and remote Tether management active.

The main reason I need this feature is that I am often away from the location of the router and do not have physical access to it. Therefore, I would like to be able to remotely turn the router's Wi-Fi off and back on through the Tether app, without needing to be physically near the router or access its web management page.

This would allow the router to remain online and remotely accessible while its Wi-Fi networks are completely disabled. Later, when Wi-Fi is needed again, I could remotely turn it back on through the Tether app.

I understand from your clarification that Tether currently supports turning off one Wi-Fi network, but not all Wi-Fi networks simultaneously. Therefore, my request is specifically for Tether to support remote control of all Wi-Fi networks (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) while maintaining the 4G Internet connection and remote management.

I believe this would be a useful feature for users who are away from the router's location and need to remotely disable or re-enable Wi-Fi while keeping the router online.

Thank you for considering this feature request.

Best regards,

Ahmad

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to clarify my request to avoid any misunderstanding.

My request is specifically about using the Tether App, not the router's Web UI.

I am often away from the location of my TL-MR6400 router. Therefore, I would like to be able to use the Tether App over my phone's mobile data to remotely:

1. Turn off all Wi-Fi networks on the TL-MR6400 while keeping the 4G/mobile Internet connection active.

2. Keep remote access to the router through the Tether App available even when all Wi-Fi networks are disabled.

3. Turn all Wi-Fi networks back on remotely through the Tether App later.

The important point is that I may be physically far away from the router and therefore cannot access it locally or use its Wi-Fi connection.

I understand that Remote Management through the Web UI may provide another method of accessing the router. However, that is not the feature I am requesting.

Could you please confirm whether the current TL-MR6400 firmware and Tether App support this exact functionality? If not, I would appreciate it if this request could be considered as a feature enhancement for future firmware/Tether App updates.

Thank you for considering this feature request.

Best regards,

Ahmad
