Time-based on/off of Wireless on BrightBox2

[link to this post]

Is there anyway to shut down the wireless automatically based on time of day? My BT HomeHub had this functionality, but I cannot find it on the EE BrightBox2.

Does the BB2 have this functionality?

Thanks!

No, but you block certain client IPs at certain times using Access Control + Schedule Rules.

Just like DECT and light, some folks want Wi-Fi off at night to protect their health.

Then switch the router off entirely.

A touch of overkill don't you think? Stopping downloads or whatever, just to stop Wi-Fi etc shortening your life.
