Router WNDR3800 / firmware: v1.0.0.18 / Windows XP SP3
Hi,
I got another problem. Through NetGear Genie I can remotely enable the Radio (2.4 and 5GHz) of the router but I cannot disable them!!! In the pane BASIC > Wireless I tick the box [Enable Wireless Router Radio], then push Apply resulting is a 2.4GHz radio signal: so all good up until there. Then, I logout from NetGear Genie.
Sometime later I want to switch off the 2.4GHz radio. So I open NetGear Genie again, I go to the same pane BASIC > Wireless to untick the box [Enable Wireless Router Radio] but that box is gone!! There is no pane anywhere in the entire NetGear Genie with the box [Enable Wireless Router Radio] that could be unticked. So I cannot turn off the Wireless LAN remotely anymore. The only way to switch it off is by pushing the physical button on the front panel of the router.
The weird thing is that the entire interface in the pane BASIC > Wireless has been replaced by the interface which is in the pane ADVANCED > Setup > Wireless Setup. Hence, in the pane BASIC > Wireless I can then change the Security Options, introduce a PassPhrase, change the SSID, etc. This must be clearly a serious BUG for the simple reason I cannot imagine that this behavior would be intentional.
So what is there to be done? How can I turn off the Radio (2.4 and 5GHz) remotely?
