Can you configure a Z-Wave node to not be a repeater?

Is there a way to make a hard wired Z wave device, like a switch, become a non-repeating device? Im trying to troubleshoot some issues with my network and would like to rule out a hop going out to my detached garage. I know I can just unplug devices or kill power to it and heal the network, but want to try a few other things as well.

Thanks.

Short answer - no
