## All Motherboards (WIFI in bios)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Confirm your hardware:** Before proceeding, ensure your computer has built-in WiFi and/or Bluetooth else skip this step! (Good way to check that is if your motherboard name ends with "Wifi")

**If you're using external USB dongle or PCIE Network card you need to remove them.**

_<mark style="color:blue;">**They are not spoof-able must be fully unplugged or replaced!**</mark>_
{% endhint %}

**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).
