turn off wifi radio on Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway

Right behind you. Ubiquity mesh network and cat6 runs all over my home. All this is doing is causing RF noise. The older Nokia model had the option to disable, as does Xfinity, and CenturyLink. We need to have this option. The web interface is also super stripped down. What happened to the advanced controls?

Try this: 

I followed the YouTube video above and it appears that it is functioning as in the video but it doesn't turn off the Wifi. is it possible that my model has updated firmware that this will not work with?

Fully agree with the need to shut off the WiFi. It's just messing up my limited spectrum with a signal i can't control or firewall against. What's the point. Can't put it in a metal box because it needs a 5G signal, so am i forced to open it up and disconnect the WiFi antenna?

Look at the video and follow his instructions. Worked like a charm for me.

I should have updated…..I was doing something wrong and Nater tater put me on the right path.

Doesn't seem to be working. I run the script in PowerShell, enter password and choose to turn off both radios. My computer stays connected to the wifi network. Any updates on this script? Or maybe I'm missing something?

I sure wish T-Mobile would make turning off the radio easier.

You can turn off both the 2.5 and 5 Ghz  bands by using a program called Hint Control. I downloaded it to my android phone and ran it from there and can turn off the wifi at will. Hope this helps.

Gracias

It works fine.  I had entered the wrong password!  Duh. 

I then used Hint Control program … that worked great too.  ))
