Again, you only need one row of boxes checked and set your time from 00:01 to 07:59. If Wifi does not shut off, I would not put much stress in it, since it is more for those settings like Internet Cafes, schools and even homes where you want to restrict the ability to get online at certain times.
Do you mean like this?
I set up a test for just now to turn off for 5 mins, set just todays row, but nothing happens.
Its frustrating to know the option to set auto shutdown is there but i cant get it to work.
Hi there
@gbu
How about a simple low tech solution
simply put a timer switch on the socket and plug the router in to that -- some of these cheap timer switches can have up to 5 on / off settings per 24 hrs.
No power, No router, No connection.
Job done --simple easy !!!!
OK the whole router shuts down but I'm assuming you don't connect anything via Ethernet.

Just out of interest have you as an experiment tried to set the times and check boxes exactly as shown by the picture in the manual, and do the times stay as input when you log yourself out of the router and log back in?
@jimbo45 I did think of the timer but i want access to my PC which is connected by Ethernet.
I want to go to bed and give the other wifi users a couple extra hours before its turned off otherwise i could disable the wifi only before i went to bed.
@das10 yes did it exactly as the manual shows but no luck.
@bro67 not to sure what you mean, if you can give me some times or exact boxes to check/uncheck i can try that.
I think i may of found the problem and yes its probably user error lol
Running couple more tests then get back and let you all know :)
Just an update for anyone that's interested.
The internal clock on the router was/is running one hour behind so all the tasks i set it didn't appear to be executing because of the time difference.
I only found out by accident as i left it running and i noticed the wifi had cut out the following day one hour before the time i had set.
I looked at the system time on the router and as you can see its one hour behind, so for now im setting the times an hour earlier.
Is there anyway to change the system time on the router as i couldn't see a way of setting it?
