Disable Wireless Backhaul (RTGRBH_ Network)

I have an RBE771 with with two satellites connected via Ethernet. Everything is working pretty well, no large issues or concerns. 

 

Hardware VersionRBE771
Firmware VersionV10.5.6.5_2.2.22
GUI Language VersionV4.0.0.22_2.1.30.3
Protection Engine Version2.2.214.4/1.0.0.2049

 

Since I am not using the wireless backhaul, can I disable the wireless backhaul network (RTGRBH___), which is annoyingly visible, is there a way to disable it? Is there a reason not to?

 

I also note the wireless backhaul network seems to follow my normal wifi network in terms of channel selection, even when I manually move it. I would think it would be better if these were on its own, totally separate channel. 

 

Thanks!

David

    You can't disable it. 

    and it changes channels because there isn't a dedicated backhaul like the other versions.
