       Why?  Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?

     

       How would disabling one wireless speed option improve anything?

       Look at the "Mode:" options?

    2.4GHz b/g/n is 2.4GHz b/g with the n bit added.

     

    Why would you want to disable "n"?

     

    2.4GHz b/g/n is a label that describes flavours of wifi "data encoding standards" that have come along other the years. These IEEE 802.11 wifi standards aren't something that you can turn on and off. Don't waste time looking for them. Work out what you want to do and look for ways to do it.
