Can 5GHZ band be disabled
I installed my EX6100 extende and it's working okay. By default it sets up 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ networks. Can I delete or disable the 5GHZ band? I prefer to have less WiFi signals showing up, causing confusion to my family and guests when they connect. Thanks!

It's probably not possible to completely disable the 5 GHz network. You can always give it a name that discourages its use. For example, "DoNotUse".
That said, when it works, 5 GHz is very fast. Very few people use it compared to 2.4 GHz, so there is less congestion. It would be a shame to not take advantage of it.
