    Does it turn off the Wi-Fi at the same time each day?

     

    Does it turn off both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios at the same time?

     

    When the Wi-Fi has been turned off, do you still have internet access through the Ethernet ports?

     

    There should be a configuration setting to turn the Wi-Fi on or off on a schedule.  Look under the Advanced Tab -> Advanced Setup -> Wireless Settings.

    Can you explain? What do you mean by "wireless mode"? That's not a term I see used here much, if at all. Routers are usually either in router mode or AP (access point) mode. There is no "wireless" mode that I know of. Some routers have a "bridge", or repeater, mode. The R7000 does that. But it isn't AP mode.

     

    Are you saying that the wireless on the R7000 just turns itself off for no known reason? What happens? The wifi LED goes off? Wifi clients lose their connection?

     

    What router sits in front of the R7000?
