Hi @johnpalmer,

You can configure different schedules for different SSIDs on the same access point by following the steps below, depending on your management mode:

For Standalone mode:

You can assign a specific time schedule to each SSID individually.

1. Go to Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID to create or edit an SSID.

2. Scroll down and check “Schedule SSID.”
3. Set the desired enable/disable time for that SSID.

For Nebula cloud-managed APs:

You can configure different SSID schedules and apply them selectively to specific APs using tags.

1. Configure the SSID and set its schedule by following this FAQ
   1. [NEBULA] How to configure SSID schedule? — Zyxel Community
2. Then, use tags to apply specific SSIDs to particular APs

3. In addition, the latest version of NCC has enhanced the SSID scheduling feature, enabling users to set multiple on/off periods for each day. Users can also easily duplicate a single day’s schedule to other weekdays.

This way, each SSID can have its own operating schedule, even when broadcasted from the same AP.
