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.
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.
