Turn off 5ghz SSID

Hi,

 

I have read many articles about turning off the SSID on Netgear Orbi (RBR350 running firmware V4.4.1.29_3.10.80)

 

However I cannot identify this feature anyware in the menus.  Generally looking in Advanced>Advanced Setup>Wireless Settings. 

 

Was this option removed in later firmware versions?  Or has it moved to a different place?

 

Thanks for any support in advance.

    I wasn't aware you could do that on the AX routers. the older AC routers there was a work around for it but not an official ability. 

    Why are you trying to turn it off?

    Orbi AX systems have never had the ability to turn OFF any wifi radios.
