To disconnect the internet from your DIRECTV system, you generally need to disconnect the device that is providing the internet connection to your DIRECTV receiver. This could either be through a Wi-Fi network or an Ethernet cable. Follow these steps:
1. Disconnect from Wi-Fi:
– Press the Menu button on your DIRECTV remote.
– Scroll to Settings & Help and press Select.
– Choose Settings, then navigate to Network.
– Select Wi-Fi Settings (if you’re using Wi-Fi).
– Choose Disconnect or select your network and press Forget Network to disconnect from Wi-Fi.
2. Disconnect Ethernet Cable:
– If your DIRECTV receiver is connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, simply unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of the receiver.
3. Turn off the Router or Modem:
– If you want to completely cut off internet access to all devices in your home, you can turn off your router or modem by unplugging it from the power source.
4. Disable Internet Access via DIRECTV App (if applicable):
– If you’re using the DIRECTV app to control or manage the system, you can simply log out or turn off the connection in the app settings.
These steps will disconnect your DIRECTV service from the internet, and you’ll no longer be able to access online features like On Demand or streaming services unless you reconnect to the internet.
