You can do that in the router's settings by excluding it. The setting shouldn't be hard to find once you're in. The address to put into your browser is possibly printed on the router's base but if not, try 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 - they're the most frequently used addresses.

Most Android devices have a setting for WiFi with an on/off switch beside it. One click on either side will disable it but removal is overkill.

Most of the chips inside a tablet look very similar and I would struggle to find it and certainly don't recommend trying it. It's the sort of job that a professional should handle.

I removed the wifi chip.
I found the motherboard diagram on www.s-manuals.com
Tablet Samsung GT-N8000 Galaxy Note 10.1 3G - Service manuals and Schematics, Disassembly / Assembly
to remove the chip was not easy, because I don't have the correct tools but any way I did it.
that solve my problem.
thank you.
(bluetooth is removed permanently to because the wifi chip control that to)

I admire your bravery. At my age with failng eyesight and shaky fingers I wouldn't venture into such territory.

Saga Lout, I'm 56 & I use an optivizer when working on small components like that but my hands are steady & have been working on circuit boards for 30yrs now.

Later this year I shall be seventy with a bit of luck and I took the view there were some jobs I wouldn't take on a year or so back. I don't mind working on my own stuff but customers' gear is more important and expensive to replace if I screw up.

I get a lot of jobs that require new power jacks in laptops and you're more than welcome to come and work with me but I believe it would be quite a long commute to my part of England.

I worked for 4yrs at Celestica doing repair work on sun micro systems, cisco systems & Juniper Networks boards never mind nokia cellphones. would be a long commute as I'm in Ontario, Canada.

Hello Polo3030!

I was wondering if you may be able to help me figure out how to remove the wifi from my phone as well. If you would be so kind as to email me at removed by Moderator I would highly appreciate it. Hopefully, I can find some way to repay the favor.

Best,
Daniel
