SXK80 - How to Disable 2.4G WIFI
How do I disable 2.4G WIFI as it is basically unusable, thanks.
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.

This isn't yet another consumer router. The design does inherit a making a common SSID carpet available on all bands. Beyond, the 2.4 GHz band is used if the wireless backhaul isn't workable on 5 GHz.
One problem I'm having is that when I disconnect the satellite for a while and then reconnect or reconnect the satellite after restoring the settings to configure the sync, the satellite will always be connected to 2.4G first, and then switch to 5G after 2 minutes, that's why I want to disable the 2.4G directly and keep the WiFi connected to 5G all the time.
