Why on an RBR350 can I not disable WIFI?
I've just setup my ISP provided Netgear RBR350 Internet router. It gives me no option to turn off the router's WIFI, because I already have my own WIFI APs. Why provide advanced features like WIFI ...
Yes the ISP is the issue here, providing a router that has limited functionality.
I will not be turning off my own APs to use the WIFI on the RBR350, because my APs are already meshed and working outdoors as well as indoors.
I only asked as I have never come across a home router that did not provide the ability to disable the WIFI.
Ah well, thanks for the conversation.
All Orbi systems do not offer the ability to disable WiFi. It would negate the design and intended use of MESH systems and the wireless backhaul that MESH systems are designed to use. There meant to be ONLINE ALL the time. IF this is something you need then I would return the system and find you something else that offers what your looking for.

Why provide advanced features like WIFI 6 and yet degrade your product by limiting its ability to be useful?
All this does is make interference in the WIFI rf bands.
Please upgrade the firmware to provide the disable function for WIFI.
Thank You.
