Hi
I have other question: can we set several schedules for wifi, by example:
- During working days : schedule 1
- During week end: schedule 2
I saw that we can set several schedule, but in column "period", we can select only one.
Thanks for your support

The solution posted here does indeed work and I would happily mark it as the preferred solution. It allows the user to select which services are scheduled and I just ticked ALL to stop the kids (and parents!) accessing the internet in the night.
HOWEVER, the solution posted elsewhere on the Netgear support website does not work:

This appears to shut down the WiFi at scheduled times, but simply does not work. The GUI says the WiFi is off, but you can still happily connect to it. Correct this, then the problem will be solved.
