I am having an impossible time finding "N" (network) models in most consumer stores. It seems that they have all been replaced by "W" (wireless) models.

The W models should still have an ethernet port, and you can disable the WiFi.

I didn't want to assume requirements and OP specifically asked for no wifi/BT. If this is for a secure system then maybe a software disable might not be sufficient.
