Can't Disable 5Ghz Radio

[1tacocat1]

So - I understand that it is potentially risky to disable the 5Ghz radio - however I manually disabled all wifi on my router > a year ago via direct API access leveraging a script I wrote that was similar to: https://github.com/tnixon/kvd21-TMI-util/tree/main and I have not had any problems (I use my own mesh wifi system since I would prefer to limit my ISP's knowlege of devices on my LAN.

Is there a way that you can let people do this, at least for the kvd21, with appropriate warnings etc?

See @cyoung1228's method here. I don't know if it will work on KVD21, but it works on G4AR so it might be worth a try...

@justaCasualCoder - thanks - the python script above does disable both radios for me so I don't necessarily need this to be added - however it would be nice to be able to manage the router from just one place.

@1tacocat1 I believe the app should still allow the disabling of all radios as long as the device isn’t a unified api model, as after a certain firmware update disabling both radios would make the device get stuck in powering up mode after rebooting. The KVD21 should have the issue with both radios disabled, unless your firmware just never got updated.
