My router is set up as:
2.4 network
guest network on 2.4 as virtual interface.
5Ghz network.

I want to shut down the radio only on the 2.4 main network but leave the guest radio on.
this is the setup.
Any ideas how to do it?

You can disable the Wireless Broadcasting under:
"Wireless SSID Broadcast"

If you know how to look you can still see it though.

If you only need one SSID why not use one and just unbridge wl1 if that is what you want

I thought about it after, I can cancel the Virtual Interface and configure wl1 as guest
