    Welcome to the community, CBanse

     

    Will you experience the problem if you downgrade the firmware version of the router?

    Try to downgrade the firmware to 1.0.0.34.

        I changed the software version to 1.0.0.34_10.0.16. Tested it for two nights. Manually turning off the router's wi-fi before scheduled shutdown continues to result in wi-fi not turning on as per the schedule. Any other suggestions?
