The Netgear genie for your operating system can do it. So can the Nighthawk app.
Not as simple as pressing a button, but easier than firing up a browser.
The app can even do it remotely.
ok so I just down load the app and do it from my phone

You may need to set up Anywhere Access on the router before that works.
ok thank you
also I have two different nighthawk setups, one at work (x10) one at home (x8) will the app run them both independently or will it be confused

That should work OK. I use the app to control two different routers on two separate networks.
When you are in wifi range of a router it connects to that. When you are away from the router it connects over the Netgear cloud through Anywhere Access.
If you want to check these features in the manual, you may have ti read up on Remote Management. Netgear changes the name.
Remote Management is now Anywhere Access in the Nighthawk and Orbi apps | Answer | NETGEAR Support
i can do that tommorrow ... a bit off topic what do we call the setting for reserving time for a device that connects ... I need to reduce that down to 2 hours
