Schedule WiFi Signal Shutdown with Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System
I recently purchased the Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 System (MK62). Prior to purchasing, I got on the phone with NetGear support, and they told me that I could schedule the WiFi signal to shut down (e.g. overnight when I'm sleeping). I got the system today, installed it and set it up, no issues, except that no where in the iOS App, the web based router management, or in any of the documentation does it say I can do this. Looking at the other discussions on this forum, it seems like this is a feature with the other routers. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Matt
This feature exists on standalone WiFi routers, but not on the Mesh (Orbi, Nightawk Mesh) systems. Several issues make it complicated, e.g. behaviour after a power-loss or when the primary router and the satellite don't have reliable time information.
In today's reality, the demand for this feature is minimal the more users are going to install IoT for building control (light, shutters, music, ...) which are requiring reliable WiFi and ideally 24*7 Internet access, mobile phones are switching to much higher ERP power using the cell network instead, ...
