Generally yes. In my (accidental) experience, don't give it a bad WiFi key, it'll just complain. Just leave it disconnected. Honestly, given the unnecessary updates, ads, and just horrid UI that WiFi brought me on my TV, I'd suggest leaving it offline even if you don't care about the privacy issues.

Oh, and WiFi won't change how much bandwidth you're using. And given the low (compared to Bluray) bitrate of 4k content on the streaming services, you probably don't need gigabit.

And, it's not for everyone, but I personally like just hooking up a small PC (Intel's NUC works well here) and using that instead of AppleTV or Roku.
