"Turn off wireless signal by schedule" does not turn wifi BACK ON for R7900P
I searched the boards and found this seems to be a recurrent issue wiht NetGear. This is my first NetGear product.
I enabled the "turnoff signal by schedule on my R7900P " and at first it did...
MrPatel, I suggest you take MizterPolo's advice, downgrade and test functionality of "Turn Wireless Off By Schedule" in 1.0.4.10
Don't be afraid about downgrading one version in this case,
No new security fixes were introduced with 1.4.1.24 since the previous version 1.4.0.10 (one version back).
You will not be puttng yourself at any risk whatsoever going back one version. The changes and security fixes introduced in 1.4.0.10 are actually quite significant. Remember to reset your router and set up from scratch. Then post your results which might help others.
The takeaway.. the very latest is not always best.
I forgot to mention Firm ware I'm running.
Firmware Version
V1.4.1.24_1.2.20
Don't know if it will help you out, but I was having the same issues with the R8000. So what i did was reset and used an old firmware. The firmware Im using is V 1.0.4.12_10.1.46 **** remember I have a r8000***** . So try looking for an older firmware. The old firmware has has helped fixed my issue with me not getting the full GIG service i just upgraded to. Hope this helps
I did think of about downgrading, but I am weary of older firmware vulnerabilities.... this seems like a known bug. I am hoping NetGear has a hot fix that can be applied without the risk of down grading my firmware.

Yeah. I agree the latest is not the greatest!
I down graded to which appears to have fixted the issue for now:
Firmware Version - V1.4.0.10
I would skip this firmware upgrade for the time being until they fix the bugs. Don't know if it was intentional or not, but seems to me NetGrear should at least inform people of this issue. I guess they ar happy with people seaching form and findng the answers themselves. While I was searching I noticed other router brands which look interesting too.
NetGrear Folks if you monitor these boards please fix in next release.
Cheers.
