Unique Situation

I am looking for a wireless router G+ that has a power switch on it
instead of just the cord. I am needing to set it up in a photo studio
that has 2.4Ghz wireless flash lighting set up and don't want to
compromise my shoots. Would really like to find one with a H/W
wireless switch but know that is not possible. Have found some wired
models but no wireless ones with an external power switch for the
unit. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it have to be G+?

SMCWBR14-N

If you look closely at the picture of the rear side you can see the
switch, I had to use the zoom.

Will a lighted momentary push button do? The WRT54G has an "SES"
button on the front for use during the initial setup. With
alternative firmware, such as DD-WRT, it's possible to use this button
as a wireless on/off switch.

I'd just put one of the in-cord lamp switches on my chosen router it
if it's inconvenient to unplug in back.

Or use a power-strip with a switch.

Duh. You could also seperate the router from the wireless. Buy an
ethernet router for the routing. Buy a seperate wireless access
point, or use a wireless router as an access point (see FAQ). When
you don't wanna use the wireless, just turn off the power to the
wireless access point leaving the ethernet router functional. I've
done it this way at a local bar that didn't want wireless internet
running after about 6PM.

The SMCWBR14-N has a WLAN on/off switch so need to waste time going
through a boot up cycle before using it.
