EX6200 - any way to turn off wireless radios so this box can be used as a simple ethernet switch?
EX6200 - any way to turn off wireless radios so this box can be used as a simple ethernet switch? I have other wireless products on a new network and I don' t want wireless; I just want to use it as an ethernet switch. But I don't see any means to turn off the radios so they can't turn themselves back on. How can I do this?

You can disable wifi by logging into it and go to wireless settings---->and uncheck the "enable 2.4ghz/5ghz" box.
Might run into issues because if you disable them both, if both are disabled, it won't connect back to the router via wireless, only via wired.
