please change 2.4G 289 Mbps
for 5GHz, you can 600 Mbps or even lower.

Hi,

thanks for posting this question, 2.4G radio supports 256-QAM and thats why it has those rates in it. today's Sw does not support it for sure and I am not sure if there is an API on the radio interface which can do it (I am looking for it)

any reason you want to turn it off?
