Hi, everyone. Anyone can help to check this function for me. I don't know my Orbi got problem or this new version firmware removed.

  • I'm in the same boat. My only guess is we'll have to downgrade. I am seriously unhappy that Netgear us *REMOVING* features from a product *AFTER* I bought it. Unbelievable...
  • The scheduling function does not disappear

    Just set the way to change

    Is currently in stable use

     

    you try it!

    • Where can you find the way?  Can you tell me more details?  I can't find the way to set the schedule.

        You can try!

         

        Is this the way you want to set it?

  • That's not it. There used to be an option to actually turn off the wireless radios themselves on a schedule.

    The option you posted just blocks services and isn't available in AP mode.
  • They removed it. Only tech support had no idea! I have same issue. It's one of the reasons I bought the thing

      Do we have any solution to turn on the wireless schedule off on the latest version? or we have to wait the next update version to see If this have been add it back
  • This is one of the reasons why I am buying this Router, can anyone from Netgear tell us whether this function will be available again?

      A quick confirmation of me having this issue as well in order to keep this thread on the first page of this forum and hopefully draws Netgear's attention.

  • Hi, 

    I was also really really disapointed when I realized the update removed the feature.  I don't want the wifi to be on at night.  

     

    Can you please re-enable the feature ?

      Will this feature be added back to the next Firmware? 

      • 3 Netgear will never answer you. The tech support doesn't even know that they removed the WiFi on off schedule feature.
