How did disable the 5ghz band in the gui of router by disabling the wifi signal or no ssid because the wifi button would turn off both the 2.4 and 5ghz bands?

        Aha. Thanks for that.

         

        I've seen several "5G won't work" discussions. That should help resolve them if people search the forum properly.
