I cant believe how many people are posting about this =D no offense.
Cant you just like when u wanna tap press the switch on ur laptop usually around the side or on the top(button) and when u want ur net back on push it again.
i have a Sony Vaio laptop, it has a switch to turn wireless/bluetooth on/off and if i ever need to tap i just switch it off and kill some ppl and switch it back on.
since its laptop you gota wait a bit for it to reconnect .=D
probably best if u like have it on auto-connect
P.S i also use a linksys router and works perfectly =D
Thank me if i helped please
