Note that in iOS 11 doing this through the Control Center it will say “Not Connected” which is exactly what it means - the WiFi hardware is still switched on, it just discconnects:

We get it. We’re talking about turning WiFi off via settings.

I’ve got it on my home screen and it’s as simple as raise to wake while authenticating Touch ID then 3D Touch settings and select WiFi (you don’t have to lift your finger just slide) and tap the toggle.

You can also just ask Siri.

It’s completely contrived one has to have 3D Touch to access such a basic thing now. There is a long press context, with plenty of space in the expanded area for the same setting.

For a minor shortcut? It really only saves you an extra tap or two.
