So will Aircrack, Netstumbler, Kismet and countless others...

Let me loose doing setting changes on the router will only end in heartbreak and me going up to DSE and buying another one.

:lol: you can't break it that way, at worst you could lock yourself out and have to use the reset button... (I've had to do that a couple of times)

There's probably an option called "Wireless Radio" (or similar) with an option to either "Enable" or "Disable"

No, that's not right. See my previous post. If somebody has a directional antenna, they can *still* reach yours, even if yours has a range of 10m, theirs may have a range of 1KM ... It's still not safe. Ever.
