Scheduling WiFi off & on

[sue_in_oz]

Hi There

I have a Sagecom FAST 3864V3AC which has both 2.4GHz & 5GHz capability.

I know how to manually turn off one or both "channels" but I am wondering if it is possible to schedule an on & off time for say the 2.4GZ "channel"?

Thanks

Sue

Hey @sue_in_oz, thanks for getting in touch with us. I'm afraid the Sagemcom FAST 3864V3AC does not have this kind of option/feature.

That's an unusual request.

What are you actually trying to achieve? Kids access?

yep - every other parental control method has failed 😞

I'm OK with doing it manually; was hoping for an easier way

Thanks for your interest

The Optus modem is not great. If you don't use a landline then you can plug in any other router. Something like this has the ability to schedule and toggle access to wifi on and off anytime (I just set it to stop at 9pm and start at 7am)
