How do I turn off "automatically managed settings"?
I get this message when trying to edit my 2.4 GHz WiFi settings:
"Wi-Fi Mode, Security Mode, Channel Selection, Channel Mode, and Channel Bandwidth are being managed automatically to help optimize your home Wi-Fi network and improve Wi-Fi coverage."
I don't want these managed automatically. How do I get manual control again?

Greetings, @ndteegarden! Thanks for reaching out to us on the Forums! I hope you are having an amazing day! We have rolled out new software to the modems that are now managing those settings for you. This is called "WiFi Intelligence" and it should be tuning things in to provide the best wifi experience for you. There is no way to turn this option off. However, if you were to turn the modem into bridge mode and use a stand-alone router, you would be able to manage the wifi settings to your liking. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
