Hi tooreck,
For R8000, firmware 1.0.4.18 is the latest version. Have you tried resetting the router?

V1.0.9.26_10.2.31 - i believe that's the latest.
I'll try the factory reset later today and post my results.
Thanks!
OK, I did a factory reset and set it all back up (including confirming that firmware is current and the schedules are enabled) and tested it. Now, instead of it not coming back online after the period is over, it doesn't turn off at all. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Anyone have any ideas? I know there are some smart people in this forum!
Disable the "Turn off wireless signal by schedule" as long as the wireless is enabled - and pry it will be fixed one day. (Sorry, could not resist...).
Hilarious.
How about this. If there's anyone out there willing to run a 5 minute test for me, try enabling this feature and tell me what your results are! Be sure to check the time zone settings, then enable the wifi to turn off at the next available time, and back on a half hour (or whatever) later. Did it turn off? Did it turn itself back on? Did you find some weird behavior like choosing the half hour actually breaks it, etc. If I can't get this working, I'm going to buy another device that will shut off the power to my router at night (decreasing my exposure to EMFs) and who needs one more device!
