   ### Disabling WIFI & Bluetooth <a href="#disabling-wifi-and-bluetooth" id="disabling-wifi-and-bluetooth"></a>

   **Locate wireless settings in BIOS:**

   Navigate through BIOS menus to find settings related to peripherals, wireless, or onboard devices. This might be under headings like:

   * "Advanced"
   * "Onboard Devices Configuration"
   * "Integrated Peripherals"
   * "Wireless"

   Disable WiFi and Bluetooth:

   * Look for options labeled "Wireless LAN" or "WiFi" and "Bluetooth" or "WIFI Controller". or "WIFI/BT" or "WAN RADIO"
   * Change their status to "Disabled" or toggle them off.

   \
   \
   \
   SAVE CHANGES

   Save your changes and exit BIOS (usually F10 or a designated "Save and Exit" option).\
