Yes please. I can not configure IoT power socket switches, which can only use 2GHz APs, when my phone locks into the Orbi 5GHz signal. I need either to be able to disable the 5GHz band AP else be able to configure the 2GHz and 5GHz APs with different SSIDs so that I can steer my phone to the 2GHz band. Right now I get around this by using a different antique phone that only has 2GHz, but needing a sifferent phone to configure the IoT devices is a PITA.

You can temporarly disable the 5 GHz band until you do the activation of your IoT devices then when ready return the 5 GHz back as follows:

1. Switch off the satellites if you don't want to do the same procedure on router and all satellites
2. Enable telnet on the router.
3. Telnet to router and enter the following command:
   1. > ip link set down dev ath1      (ath1 is what you should get from the command  > config get wl5g_NORMAL_AP)
4. Now the 5 GHz will be down
5. When you're ready, return the 5 GHz back with the following command:
   1. > ip link set up dev ath1
