Disable the wifi band by entering the following commands

• For 2.4Ghz band use
  1. config set endis_wl_radio=0
  2. ifconfig $(config get wl2g_NORMAL_AP) down
• For the 5Ghz band use
  
  1. config set endis_wla_radio=0
  2. ifconfig $(config get wl5g_NORMAL_AP) down
• For the guest 2.4Ghz band use
  
  1. config set wlg1_endis_guestNet=0
  2. ifconfig $(config get wl2g_NORMAL_AP) down
• For the guest 5Ghz band use
  
  1. config set wla1_endis_guestNet=0
  2. ifconfig $(config get wl5g_GUEST_AP) down
     
     

The first command will disable the wifi monitoring for the band and the second command will shutdown the band itself.

The config command write to the nonvolatile memory so the settings will still be there after a restart.
