Still don't fully understand the true intention on these ideas.
There could be a way to enable/disable tie wireless SSID so no communication is possible during certain hours, or on control by the App (and of course the Web UI) - this would be possible. Needless to say, doing so will disable many other capabilities, e.g. to use the security cameras, networked doorbell and door opener, light controls, ...
Not possible is to disable all wireless radios on demand, the wireless backhaul must be kept running: Because with the wireless radios off, there is no way to access the satellites on a wireless backhaul - so there is no way to talk and control each satellite. And the never ending idea of disabling wireless over night will lead to all mobile phones and other devices to use the typically much more energy intensive mobile network - which does again not fit the second intention.
In my personal opinion, this idea is a relict of the past, and does barely reflect the year 2021 usage if a network. Still, I'm happy to try pushing some of this idea forward to Netgear.
