You can't turn off WIFi via the GUI. There is a post on here describing how to temporarily disable a client radio via telnet, but I don't think the setting will persist after a reboot.
If you don't want to use Wifi, then I don't think you need an Orbi. Just buy a gigabit switch to replace the satellite and add a cheap router.

that is true. but it was already purchased to get a new router and replace a really old one.
In hindsight, should've just bought a nighthawk. But part on sale and part paid with gift cards.
