Title: Energy save: schedule wifi
Post by: krex on February 20, 2009, 02:24:55 PM: I usually sleep at night and I work in the daytime. So I don't need WiFi this time. Is there any possibility/trick to define a rule, that my wifi transmission switches on from 6AM to 9AM and switches off, then afternoon it switches on from 4PM to midnight automatically?

thanks!

Okay, I know the option (schedule a rule for enable wireless) but I don't find the way, how to set my planned scheduling in one rule, because only one rule can be set for wireless.
And that if it is for more security than power save it doesn't matter for me, if it works... :-)

Of course every little bit helps but in a household environment there a much better options available to get substantial savings.

It is the same thing I wanted to do and that is have two schedules for wireless automatically execute.
I found you can only use one at a time and must manually switch which one you use.
