How do I disable WiFi and use only Ethernet?

I would like to disable wifi and just use ethernet. There are 4 ethernet ports on the router/gateway which would connect everything I use including TV.  What is the process to make this conversion? TIA for your help! 🙂

You aren't even limited to 4 devices. You can get an Ethernet switch and connect even more devices. I have 8 Ethernet devices on my network.

If you don't need WiFi for anything (including your phone?) you can go into the router/gateway settings and turn it off.

For some devices, like computers, you can disable WiFi in them, too. I have a desktop computer that includes WiFi, but I disabled it.
