Pi3 OSMC TP-Link AC1200 - How to disable onboard wifi?

System:
Raspberry Pi3
OSMC 2016.06-2
TP-Link Archer T4U AC1200 (added yesterday)

Router with 2,4GHz and 5GHz wifi (separate)


First i used the Pi with onboard wifi in 2,4Ghz network.
Yesterday i added the TP-Link AC1200 cause of slow speed and problems with 1080p / 3d movies.
Installing the dongle works fine… just plug in.

Now i connected with putty…
connmanctl
technologies → wifi is enabled
scan wifi
agent on
services → found my 5Ghz network
connect wifixxxxxxxxxxxxx → 5Ghz network connected

Speed was fine. No Problems with 1080p / 3d movies.

BUT… after reboot the Pi sometimes connects to 2,4Ghz and sometimes to 5Ghz (most times 2,4Ghz)

How can i solve this problem?
Is there a way to disable onboard wifi permanent or delete the 2,4Ghz network?

ifconfig shows

wlan0 / wlan1 changes between onboard and dongle

Thank you in advance! :wink:

Works after some reboots!

  1. boot → movies/tv/series gone
  2. boot → movies/tv back
  3. boot → all back :stuck_out_tongue:

ifconfig shows just one wifi (wlan0)

hope that will work stable

Thanks!
