    Building materials and distance between the SXR and SXS can play a roll in the SXS connecting at 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz. 

     

     

    MESH systems always have there wifi running. It's by design and thus there is no option to disably any WiFi radios. Other NG routers that are not MESH, can support disabling of the radios. MESH not so much.

I want to disable 2.4G WiFi because I can't use it, how do I disable 2.4G WiFi?

I've used other Netgear routers before, and in Advanced Settings - Wireless Settings, there is an option to enable or disable 2.4G, but I can't seem to find it in the SXR80.
