RAXE500 - Disable BPDU?

Hello, I have an RAXE500 (AXE11000) router that I'm trying to set up as an access point.   However, I've been notified that it's sending BPDU packets. Is there a setting to disable this or any spec...

    There a brand and model# of the switch? 

     

    Is this RAXE in a business? If so, RAX routers are not really meant for business or enterprise networking environments. 

    There is no user configuration options for BPDU features as we presume this is a FW item handled at the FW level. Would be nothing to change. 

    Can make contact with NG support to let them know otherwise. 

     

    Suggesting finding a different wireless AP that meets the network policy and requirements and doesn't have BPDU packets.
