Orbi RBK50 wifi switching on/off
Good morning!
I have just purchased an ORBI RBK50 (1 router + 1 satellite).
I want to switch off the wifi signal at night. I tried with ADVANCED SETUP/SCHEDULE but doesn't work.
Can you kindly let me know how to switch on/off my wifi signal at night.
Best.

Orbi does not have a daily "schedule", sorry. Some users have concocted elaborate mechanisms to have a program telnet into the Orbi and disable/reenable the radios. I have no idea if their methods were successful, or if they are even still possible.
My guess (and this is only an opinion), is that Netgear believes there is very little "business case" for scheduling WiFi cability now that there are SO many home appliances that require WiFi to function: door locks, thermostats, sprinkler controllers, light bulbs, speaker systems, security alarms, security cameras,refrigerators, microwaves, the list goes on and on. WiFi has become a utility like water, gas, and electricity.
