Using a WiFi Internet Booster Range Extender EX6410 only as Ethernet port

Using a WiFi Internet Booster Range Extender EX6410 only as Ethernet port

We have NETGEAR Orbi Tri-band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (RBK50) and NETGEAR Wireless Mesh WiFi Internet Booster Range Extender | Covers up to 2100 sq ft and 35 Devices with AC1900 (EX6410). We bought the extender to use the ethernet port for Sky Q box which has a tendancy to drop its wifi connection on a regular basis. We don't want to use the wifi signal from the extender as its not as good a signal as we are getting directly from the Orbi system. As is doesn't appear as a seperate network we cannot avoid it. Is it possible to switch of the wireless signal it is emitting?

Page 42 of the User Manual tells how to disable the WiFi radios.

There is also information about disabling the SSID broadcast, etc.
