NWA1123-ACv2 How to schedule turn off wifi?

gainbore · April 2020

Hi,
I would like to schedule the wifi to be turned off at night to prevent it from sending radio emission, and also to save some power a bit.
I can do this using Fritz!Box. But, I haven't found an option to do this on NWA1123-ACv2.
I'm thinking of going back to Fritz!box if this is not possible with this Zyxel device.

Welcome to Zyxel Forum. The good new is, NWA1123-ACv2 supports the function you asked for, which is called "Schedule SSID". It allows users to configure the time/period where wireless services/radio to be propagated out.

If your SSID is in standalone mode, the setting page is under directory: Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID , Just select your using SSID and then click "Edit", then you'll see "Schedule SSID" in the bottom of pop-up window.

If your NWA1123-ACv2 is in cloud mode (managed by NCC), the setting page is under directory: AccessPoint > Configure > SSID Availability. Just simply select your SSID, and then enable the feature below, so you can set the schedule for your AP.
