Using the Ethernet LAN Port
If your operating system is Windows

you can connect your computer to a Local Area Network

avoid this delay, you can configure the Windows

operating
system to disable the LAN port.
To disable the LAN port:
1 Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2 Click Performance and Maintenance.
3 Click the System icon and select the Hardware tab, then
select the Device Manager button
4 Select Network Adapters, then select the specific
Network Adapter.

6 Click Yes to confirm disabling the network card.
Your LAN port is now disabled.
