Last known Orbi750 firmware with telnet functionality?

So I'm needing to make my guest network a 5ghz only network and apparently I need to telnet into the orbi system in order to deactivate the 2.4ghz for it, however my firmware does not even list this ...

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Any changes you make in telnet will not persist thru a FW update nor a reboot. 


Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.

Thank you

    Wait are you saying if I disabled 2.4ghz for the guest network in telnet, then after a reboot it will be re-enabled?

      Correct. Why are you trying to set 5Ghz only for Guest Network?

        I have some devices that do not behave well on the 2.4ghz spectrum, aka a Samsung Q950T soundbar among a few. I would love to create a hidden 5ghz network.
