Time based WLAN activation

Hi,

I want to enable / disable one or more ssid's on a AP10/30, based on day and time.

For example:
WLAN-Guest is active from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 16:00
WLAN-Internal is active from Monday to Saturday from 7:00 to 21:00

When inactive, the all WLAN activity is shut down completely so no OTA packet capture / Hacking / intrusion is possible.

Any solution for this?

Hi, Juergen, and thanks for participating in the User BB!

Is there a reason not to do this with Time Events and Firewall rules?

Cheers - Bob

Reason for not using fw-rules: don't be visible longer than you need.
Have you ever tried hacking a switched off wlan? (-:

Temporary solution until v9: A simple clock-timed power socket for the AP, very cheap!

@trollvottel

Nice idea but impossible, when both Wlans on same access point. :-)

Please hurry because we have 30 Ap-30's in use and powering-off our PoE switches is not an option lol.
