You can just not tell it your wifi password.

I did that and manually set my IP address to 1.1.1.1 with a 255.255.255.255 subnet mask. I figure that's one more level of protection so if my wireless radio can be turned it, it won't be able to connect to a network that's baked into the firmware or something. (E.g. if Samsung has a test net that their TVs automatically connect to if in range.)
