Apart from killing access for all of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the entire house (thermostat, smoke alarms, Ring doorbells, security cameras, etc.)... is there a special significance to the Orbi being in the bedroom?
I'm concerned with the potential impacts of wifi signals on our health as along with DECT phones it's one of the most nocive waves. I'm living in a small apartment with 2 levels. The router is at the floor level close to the internet access, it's not strong enough to reach 1st floor through the concrete floor. On level 1 I only have bedrooms so the satellite is inside the central one.
Still I'm surprised that Netgear doesn't propose a way to schedule wifi opeating hours as this feature can be found on far less expensive access points. I'll also expect an OS command to be available out of the box and it's not the case
I agree with you, one should be able to disable all wifi on a schedule - really a simple feature.....
