I have a new Linksys-wrt3200acm factory to ddwrt worked fine and VPN setup is complete and it is working fine so far, but I want the command line statement to disable two of the wifi adapters to avoid heat issues. I had them on my old Linksys1900acv2, but I cannot access that anymore.

Thanks

If you're wanting them disabled completely to not be used, whatsoever, just disable them in the webUI under wireless basic settings, save, and reboot.

Thanks, I was expecting something like sudo ifconfig ath0 down
sudo ifconfig ath2 down

to be put in Administration commands area, like I had the last time. But this seems to be working, I think, at least that's what the lights tell me.

Depending on what version of DD-WRT you are running. More recent versions the wireless interfaces are no longer named ath* and you shouldn't need sudo, as there is only one user (root). But disabling them in the webUI should always work. No need to complicate things Cool
