Hi,
Just set it upto 600Mbps.
 
NETGEAR doesn't expose controls that limit operation to older standards. As the OP noted, the best you can do is adjust the maximum link rate. Limiting to "Up to 600 Mbps" on 5 GHz should lock out AC rates on 5 GHz.

Remember that in 2.4 GHz, most AC routers operate as N routers. The exception are AC1900 routers, which can support an additional set of AC link rates when they find clients that can support them.

All 802.11ac routers will perform in 2.4Ghz as either 802.11n (or possibly 802.11g) - 802.11ac is 5GHz only.

One might find some 3-stream support with the newer 802.11ac routers perhaps...
