I would like to be able to turn the WiFi radios completely off as they are interfering with a different WiFi Access Point. For the life of me I can't find a button on the DD-WRT interface to do this. Going to the Buffalo support site the original Buffalo OS lets you do it but I can't find it in the DD-WRT.
I am running a:
Buffalo AirStation™ Extreme AC1750 WRZ-1750DHPD
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r37305 std (10/10/1Cool

Thanks!

I presume your router is the WZR-1750DHP. I do not understand why you're running a firmware from 2018. Please consider upgrading to the current release, which, at the time of this post is 51937.

To answer your question, turning off wifi is via the basic wifi settings page(s), via "Network Mode" dropdown.

I just got this router from a friend as mine got fried in a storm so I'm still setting it up and learning the system.
There are two .bin there, which one should I use considering the Buffalo factory OS has already been replaced by DD-WRT.
Thanks again!

if you already have ddwrt use the buffalo-wzr-1750dhp-webflash.bin to flash it from the web interface...

-the factory.bin is for first flash from the stock firmware..
