You have the capacity for a LAN - you'll just need to turn your
USB-tethered machine into a router. Although, perhaps that is work you
don't want to bother doing.
The WiFi capabilities of the device would also allow you to have a LAN.
But if you have reasons for turning it off beyond "I don't need no
WiFi", then I suppose turning it on would be detrimental.
