On firmware V2.2.1.210 I was unable to disable the 2.4GHz channel using this procedure. Is it still valid?

Yes, should be valid. Please make sure to reboot the node after you do the procedure.

Only one small correction to the well described procedure above (in red text below) :)

  • For 2.4Ghz band use
    1. config set endis_wl_radio=0
    2. ifconfig $(config get wl2g_NORMAL_AP) down
  • For the 5Ghz band use
    1. config set endis_wla_radio=0
    2. ifconfig $(config get wl5g_NORMAL_AP) down
  • For the guest 2.4Ghz band use
    1. config set wlg1_endis_guestNet=0
    2. ifconfig $(config get wl2g_GUEST_AP) down
  • For the guest 5Ghz band use
    1. config set wla1_endis_guestNet=0
    2. ifconfig $(config get wl5g_GUEST_AP) down
