Re: RS700 - Disable 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz band

Has this been resolved yet? I have an RS500 and have the same issue with being unable to turn off the 2.4GHz band and I'm unable to use the scheduler to turn off a specific band.

 

This is pretty unacceptable as my previous router from TP-link could do this, and I may have to return this new Netgear router and go with a competitor instead.

  • RS500 supports the function to turn on/off each WiFi radio.

      Thank you for the fast response and I see the setting, I was unaware there was a separate wireless settings area outside the top area of Advanced.

       

      I was able to turn off 2.4GHz, thank you.
