Disable wireless radios option in Orbi FW 2.0
I am looking for a way to disable the wireless radio for some troubleshooting testing in the 2.4 ghz range. I saw some other posts showing an option to disable wireless radio on both the 5g and 2.4g spectrum earlier in the year (2017), but am not seeing anything on my version of the firmware 2.0. I am looking in Advanced->Wireless and only see an Enable SSID option.
Was this option removed? Is there any secret way to get to those options?
Edit: I want to add that I am in AP mode if that matters.

You cannot disable the radio in recent firmware versions. You can reduce the power, but that's it.
What are you trying to test? Maybe there's another way around it.
