    What Firmware is currently loaded?

    Disable the 5Ghz SSID broadcast Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

    There will be a check box there, uncheck it and save settings. Re-check it after you have setup your devices.

A thousand times thank you! I got mine hooked up and was loving it I tried to add my 2.4 switches. I saw the Telnet fix but didn't want to go that route (yes,a router pun). Found this and now I'm good to go!
