U2417HWi, how to set wireless off?
Hi !
I've recently acquired a U2417HWi, I plugged it to my computer via an HDMI cable, but unfortunately I can't manage to set it permanently to HDMI. Everytime I turn my computer off, the screen automaticaly goes to wireless and I got the bouncing message on the screen saying it's looking for wifi signals.
I tried to set it manually to HDMI, to disable the wireless, or both via the onscreen OSD, but nothing appears to work. Is there a way to permanently turn the wireless feature off ?

Wireless should be Off if you do the following in the Menu OSD (On Screen Display) -Input Source (page 31) =
* Check is on HDMI
* No check on Wireless
* Auto Select is set to Off

Post a picture of your OSD (On Screen Display) Input Source screen. Page 31 says that you can remove the check from Wireless, add the check to HDMI, and set Auto Select to Off.

Doesn't work.
There isn't a "not checked" mark on the OSD actually, so I leave both Auto and Wireless blank and the check mark is on HDMI. As soon as I turn off my computer, it switches to wireless signal searching.

Aaaah, that's what I was missing ! I was only getting the simplified OSD after getting the computer off, that's why I didn't understand the "check mark" missing.
It's all sorted out now, thank you so much for your assistance, really appreciate it sir !
