Turn-off 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz bands on the Main Router and just use WiFi from the connected points

I want to disable 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz bands on the Main Google Wifi Router, and just use it a hub for other WiFi points. I want to have all the other devices at home get connected to these other WiFi points. Can you help me achieve this.

Hello @nkr1125

This is not an option, I'm afraid. Client devices decide which access point (and which band – 2.4GHz or 5GHz) to connect to. They don't always make great decisions. After a Google WiFi restart (e.g., following a power outage), the primary unit becomes available first, and clients will often connect to it immediately, right before the secondary/point units become available. As long as that is still "working", they may just continue to use it indefinitely. You may be able to get them to connect to a secondary/point unit by restarting the clients.
