    WiFi On/Off Overrides Disabled 5ghz band in GUI

    @bbunge As stated in the OP cannot use schedule. My schedule varies widely from day to day. Need to use the manual wifi button. Returned the ASUS 68U for a Netgear R7000 and all is well. 5ghz band disabled in GUI, manual wifi button turns off/on 2ghz band, honoring GUI settings. With stock FW...

    WiFi On/Off Overrides Disabled 5ghz band in GUI

    It is not worthless to those of us running older gear. In fact it's the only band our equipment can use. There are many practical reasons one might want to disable wifi when not in use, even to lessen security risks since there is no reason to have it up when it's not being used. In my case I...

    Question for Anyone w/ Merlin on AC68U 1Ghz

    WiFi On/Off Overrides Disabled 5ghz band in GUI

    Thanks for your response, I will. EDIT: For anyone with this issue that finds this thread in the future, at least as of today's date, ASUS support said that's just how the wifi manual button works. It WILL override any GUI setting and enable/disable both bands, regardless of whether you...

    WiFi On/Off Overrides Disabled 5ghz band in GUI

    Hello. Just got the AC68U last night. [EDIT: FW upgraded to xxx.18881] Permanently disabled the 5ghz radio in the GUI as I don't have an ac adapter and don't want the extra EMF for nothing. At night I disable Wifi with the physical on/off button -- NOT on a schedule as my schedule varies daily...
