Issue in option " Turn off wireless signal by schedule" in new firware V2.3.2.40 Router XR500
Hello, I have a XR500 DumaOS router originally with firmware v 2.3.2.32. The issue is that I cannot make changes in the wireless programming because the options become dimmed after upgrading firmware to v 2.3.2.40. I tried to take the backup in the previous version firmware 2.3.2.32 and restored the backup after upgrading to the latest firmware v 40 and make a hard reset, but the checkbox is still dimmed and persist. I was testing the router settings and I noticed that the "Transmission power control" buttons were dimmed after configuring the Advanced hybrid VPN service and the primary DNS. Maybe it help. Could someone help me? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

- Is it just Transmission Power Control that is dimmed or is it other settings as well? Do you have smart connect enabled?
It's just the Transmit Power Control. Yes, I have enable the Smart Connect option.
- If you disable smart connect are you able to edit the option?
Try a factory reset on the router and setup from scratch.

I've done that and it doesn't work either. I think it's a firmware bug.
- What options are dimmed and are you using smart connect?
