Admin bypass for turning WiFi back on during scheduled off time

I have our R7500v2 Nighthawk AC2350 scheduled for automatic shut off from 11pm - 5am (to keep kids off the Internet when we are sleeping).  It has worked well until today when it got stuck in a scheduled 'Off' mode during the day because a Cox Internet outage during the 5am timeframe must have prevented it from turning back on. I was only able to turn it back on by a factory reset. 

 

Is there a bypass or admin feature that would allow me to turn the wifi back on during the scheduled 'off' time (other than a factory reset)?  The buttons are all grayed out and won't allow me to turn anything on. 

 

Router Firmware Version
V1.0.3.48

 

Thanks
