Apologies, but I find your message hard to understand.
The wifi band of your router has nothing to do with the wifi bands of the powerline device.
Where do you want to turn off the wifi? Router? Powerline device?
What make and model is the router?
The Powerline device cannot communicate with your router over wifi. Both are broadcasters rather than receivers.
Have you read the manual for this device?
