Create multiple schedule blocks on R8500 (AC5300 Nighthawk X8)

 

I saw some topics regarding multiple schedule blocks but not for R8500 model.  I don't want to turn on/off wifi (all or nothing method).  What I want is to create multiple schedule blocks to block specific devices/IPs.  Currently, it only allows 1 schedule block.

 

Any plan to enhance/add this feature in the future firmware update?

 

Router Netgear R8500 (aka AC5300 Nighthawk X8)

 

Thanks,

BN

    I see that this is an old idea or suggestion, but I would like to second that motion. I really like my R8500 router and it's performance, but find some of the features seem to be lacking. In previous Netgear routers I had the ability to create access rules and schedules base on a device and having the ability to create only one schedule or access rule makes it very difficult to manage access for the different devices on my network.
