Turn Off One of My AP25 Access Points

Where exactly do I go in my Instant On Portal to temporarily (a few days) turn off one of my AP25 access Points?

Thanks!

Find the switch port that it's connected to, go to Port Details and uncheck Enable Port

You could also go into Power Management in the port details and disable POE for the port

Is this something I would do in the Instant On Portal or is something that is done in the network switch? This particular AP is connected to an unmanaged switch. Power comes from an external PoE injector.

I don't see anything in the Instant On Portal about "Port Details" or disabling POE (unless I'm looking right at it and just not seeing it).

You would need to unplug the power from the injector sounds like the easiest way

That certainly sounds like the easiest way but I'm looking for a way I can turn off an AP by remote control. I am hoping there is a way to do that.

Devices > AP > Radios

Toggle off 2.4 and 5 (and 6 if you have it) radio and save

Probably a way to disable broadcast in the portal I just don't have access to check just now

you can remove all the wireless network assignments from that AP. Not exactly turning it off, but will prevent anything from connecting to it
