It's up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too.
Orbi systems don't support disabling of Wifi radios. There ON all the time per intended design.
Thanks for the reply.
-Other older Orbi systems had these options.
You might have a device that's between the two satellites and you wouldn't want it to switch back and forth for every meter the device moves.
-Also older Orbi systems allowed turning the wi-fi off or reduce the wi-fi power of one Orbi compared to the other so as to avoid devices switching constantly when between two units again.
I can't find any of these settings. The newest Orbi had the most rudimentary settings.

Those setting were removed long ago and Orbi AX and AXE systems never had them in the first place when they came out.
Again it's up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too. You can help some by turning down the transmit power from 100% to a lessor value.
