Just wanted to update here. This router did not have an on/off switch
on the unit itself, so the only way to turn it on/off was to either
plug/unplug the power adapter or place an outlet switch ahead of the
power adapter and I did the latter.

The manual showed a power switch. The above image shows that model but
without a power switch. Bummer. A switched power strip (with or
without surge protection) takes care of that issue.

Another advantage of the N300 was that when WIFI was off,
I could hard wire directly to the system being used instead of using
WIFI; doesn't look like I can do this with the EA6350 unless I go into
the 6350's software and disable WIFI.

I've not run across a wi-fi router that disabled those RJ-45 ports when
wi-fi was enabled. You get both methods of connectivity and both are
available concurrently.

I scanned through the manual and did not see anywhere mention that use
of wi-fi and RJ-45 ports were mutually exclusive. Their manual is very
poor. It does not show every tab of every configuration screen and
there is no explanation of what each setting does.
