Is it possible to disable one of the 5Ghz channel on R8000?

Yeap, I noticed. But I think all of the netgear wtri-band ifi routers are like that.
Well its not such a big deal, It would be great if netgear would give that option.

It would be great to have that feature on R8000 routers - to disable either the 5Ghz1 or the 5Ghz2 channels. I really do not wish to use the higher channels (149-165). How to open a feature enhancement for the R8000 firmware?
I know we have the option to disable all 5Ghz signals (5Ghz1 and 5Ghz2) but I just wanted to disable the 5Ghz signal that manages the higher channels.
