I have been looking around the internet without much luck for current/working commands to use.

What I would like to know how to do is enable/disable the 5ghz radio via the command line without taking the whole router down or even the 2.4ghz radio.

I believe it should be like this.
nvram set wl1_radio=1 (on)
nvram set wl1_radio=0 (off)
tried
nvram set wl1_radio="1"
nvram set wl1_radio="0"
tried
nvram set wl1_radio 1
nvram set wl1_radio 0
tried
nvram set wl1 radio on
nvram set wl1 radio off

None of these made a difference.
Anyone who knows the commands care to share please?

Thank you
Mike

wl -i eth2 down

if eth2 is your 5ghz radio

Thank you BasCom.
I will put that command into my file for later use.

For cron I use "startservice radio_off_0" for 2,4GHz and "startservice radio_off_1" for 5GHz.
I think Kong has written that in another thread and this works for my R7000.

Example for a cron job to turn off eth1 at 7:30 am:
30 7 * * 1-5 root startservice radio_off_0

update: to toggle guest wifi on/off you should use ifconfig wl0.1 down (or whatever your VAP is named). That worked for my E4200, for R7000 I haven't tested it so far.
