No more wifi schedule in firmware 1.12.0.18
Hi all, Since the firmware update to 1.12.0.18 the possibility to schedule the wifi signal to turn off is not more available. Previously this could be found in Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wirele...
Dear Darren,
To be crystal clear.
Please have a look to Orbi User Manual under Chapter 6 (Specify Network Settings). "Set up a Wifi Schedule"... P77...
This is what we are all talking about and has been removed with the latest FW update. This is the RF signal itself which is scheduled. this function shall work in both router and AP mode.
Thanks to investigate further and provide on this forum with committed date to reintegrate this mandatory basic feature into your product.
BTW, i tried to open a ticket under your official support channel (during the 90 days "free" support) but it seems your CRM system is not working for this product category... (very strange...).
Thank your beforehand for your answer.
Keeping this thread alive. I want the feature to be able to schedule disabling wifi. I have multiple reasons for doing this including but not limited to questions about sleep pattern interference. While unproven, nothing wrong with having "options".
These guys are unbelievable....It's like they think by ignoring your question and answering something else we are going to be satisfied with the wrong answer to our questions....
Hi,
this is a very important feature for me too. Could we pls have an update from Netgear/Darren about a possible ETA for the fix ?
Same for me.
If this feature does not make it back in the next FW release, I will have to return my RBK50 with the reason that it does not work as advertised.
Hope this will not be necessary.
Hi Darren,
Just got mine yesterday updated firmware to V2.0.0.74.
Same problem here no wifi schedule. Can you please inform any progresses on new firmware which could add this feature back?
Thank you,
Through Netgear's german support site I learned that the return of this functionality is not planned by their technical staff.
Unbelievable in times where we like to reduce electrosmog and energy consumption. Users should have the choice to configure this setting as desired. Netgear only leaves us the choice to return the device and look elsewhere. Disappointing, especially in a context where I am quite pleased with this set.
So that's it? We can just forget about this feature and nobody at Netgear will even consider providing a proper answer?
This is the last time I buy something Netgear, seriously.
