Is it possible to turn off WiFi on the T-Mobile Home Gateway, I would like to hook my wifi router and avoid having both WiFi active

1. disable SSID name and SSID broadcast for SSID1 (2.4ghz)
2. disable SSID name and SSID broadcast for SSID5 (5ghz)
3. disable SSID name and SSID broadcast for and SSID9 (5ghz hi)
no need to disable SSID 2,3,4,6,7,8,10,11,12
This is helpful but with all SSID's disabled the STATISTICS window still shows the 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections disabled, but the STATUS window shows a green online indicator, along with the transmitted power for 2.4GHz, 5GHz Low, & 5GHz high. The heat generated is one of my main concerns for longevity. Speaking with the tech support was useless. They just wanted to send another Gateway. I have software version 1.2103.00.033B. Setting the power to 12%helps compared to higher power settings, but still generates excessive heat resulting in reduced life of the Gateway device.
