RS700 - Disable 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz band
I would like to disable the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands on my RS700. I noticed that there is no option to do so in the settings. I tried disabling these bands by using the scheduler, but found that this do...
Hi Andran, We removed the radio on/off function from RS700 due to some implemntation considerations. The WiFi Scheduler function turns off all bands, the 6GHz for your VR headset is turned off as well, so does the function work for you?
Thank you for replying.
You say that the scheduler turns off all bands. However, thankfully this is not true.
I can use the scheduler to turn off the bands individually. So I set a separate schedule for the 2.4 Ghz band and the 5 Ghz band. I do not set a schedule for the 6 Ghz band, so that that does not turn off.
It works okay, except that the Wifi turns on the lower bands for half an hour each day, as can be seen in the log.
I would appreciate if you could add the option back in if it is possible. I can accept that this may not be possible, but yes if it is possible I would prefer that solution.
