passdj2002 unfortunately the ability to turn off a particular radio completely off is not available in many threads this feature and ability and option to do so has been discussed and requested. the ability to adjust radio power was just recently re added back for a while that option was taken away top...best u can do now is set the 2.4GHz to 25% can't turn I off completely as of this moment maybe in a future Firmware it may be an option.

Ok I understand.. but if I want to transmit wifi only in 5ghz what I have to do to stop the transmission of the 2.4ghz signal?

Is there a telnet command to set the transmit power? I have an RBR50, RBS50, RBW30 and would like to change the 5Ghz transmit power on the RBW30 to much lower. I have issues were devices are not connecting to the ORBI on their floor and connecting 1 or 2 floors away. I have already tried the Fast Switch option, hasn't helped.
And for what it's worth all the MAC (iphone, ipad, MAcbook) devices prefer the RBW30 and will always connect to it. Sometimes the fail auth on the RBR and RBS, but never on the RBW. Honestly sometimes I have to walk upstairs to get them to connect to the RBW30....
