Home wireless routers with on/off switch for radio?

Would like to know about some recent, cheap consumer models with the ability to easily switch radio on/off!
(Radiation, anyone ;)

Of course the devices should also have RJ45 connections.

Thanks:)

linksys WRT54GL does this with OpenWRT-Firmware.
press the CISCO-Symbol and wlan switches off
draytek vigor2820 and vigor2110 do this as well

they wrote, that all "n"-models have that feature
Good idea deibel.  If you can get by with 802.11g speed, go with the Linksys.  I generally prefer Linksys over Netgear.
i made some thoughts concerning your goals with that button.

do you fear the radiation?
do you have mobile phones?
does your neighbour have mobile phones?
do you have an AC-alarm-clock on your bed-table?

all these things radiate.

if you want to reduce power-comsuption, it is even better to switch off the whole router.
that might save you araound 20€ per year with german electricity tariff

if your ussue is about security:
ok, switch off is really secure!

im not going to tell, that you dont need, what you are asking for,
but think about it
