Hi,

Is it possible to shutdown (disable) a ethernet port so the ethernet interface returns as down instead of up?

I have link on eth 0 but due to troubleshooting I want to take it offline.

Model: WR44v2

Hi

There is not a simple way to switch of specific Ethernet interface.

what can be done is switch off all Ethernet under the power management option you can create a profile with Ethernet off

Configuration - System \> Power Control \> Profile 1
