wfi schedule not working

Hi, I have a Nighthawk D7000 firmware: V1.0.1.64_1.0.1

 

I wish to turn off wireless signal by schedule. I had previously been able to set a period.

 

Going into Advanced \ Advanced Setup \ Wireless Settings. The Add a New Period, Edit, and Delete buttons do not trigger any action. It's like the buttons are dead. The Enable Wireless Router Radio are black and ticked. The "Turn off wireless signal by schedule" radio button is ticked but greyed out.

 

Going into Advanced \ Security \ Schedule, seems broken. I might enter: Start 0 (hour), End 3 (hour) (midnight to 3am), and upon clicking Apply it reverses the fields to Start 3 (hour), End 0 (Hour)??

 

It should be so simple!?

 

Thanks.

   My D7000 is still at V1.0.1.60_1.0.1, and "Add a new period" is
responsive.  I'm told that "A new firmware upgrade is available.", and
that I should "Click here to get it.", so, if I can work up the courage
and the time, then I may try the new "V1.0.1.64_1.0.1" edition.

   I don't use these features, so what could go wrong?

   It is, of course, also possible that resetting the router to factory
default settings, and manually reconfiguring it, might have some
benefit.  Only one (practical) way to find out.

   I updated mine from "V1.0.1.60_1.0.1" to "V1.0.1.64_1.0.1", without a
reset, and I still don't see the problem.  "Add a new period" brings up
a "Turn off wireless signal by schedule" page, "Edit" pops up a "No
entry selected" box, and "Delete" pops up a "No entry selected" box with
one additional control: "[ ] Prevent this page from creating additional
dialogs."  I have no idea what that means.  And, after some playing
around, that "additional dialogs" check box seems to come and go on both
the "Edit" and "Delete" pop-up boxes.  Looks to me like more chimp-ware.

   Unless your web browser is blocking the pop-ups which this page seems
to use, I'd still vote for trying a reset, but my expectations would not
be high.  Note that, unlike you, I've never actually defined a schedule
rule.
