Turn off wireless signal by schedule - is there no such feature for the orbi RBK20 ?

Hello Community

I would really like to shut down the signal of my new RBK20 during the night hours. Either I'm searching in the wrong areas or there is indeed no such feature for the orbi? Hard to believe as I've seen this feature on many other device before.

Thanks for a hint. Hopefully it's not in those disney functions one has to pay for...

Alas, several people have asked about this in the past and it does not appear to be an option in the Orbi product.  It is only a guess on my part, but I can see a product manager saying, "This is a residential, 'plug in and use' product.  Half the things in a modern home will cease to function correctly if WiFi is arbitrarily shut off for hours at a time."

 

I fear the only option available is to power it off/on with a timer on the electrical outlet.

Thanks - too bad that this isn't working. I can see the point PMs may have, but as an option this would be much appreciated for people that want the signal shut down over night.

 

Happy Holiday ya'all !

You'll have to get a Netgear, not Orbi, router for that feature.

 

As @CrimpOn says Orbi is "consumer" level, made as simple as possible.
