Title: shutdown scheduling
Post by: goldo72 on January 24, 2012, 05:44:40 PM

Hello,

I searched everywhere for info to schedule automatic shutdown of router and all I get is that the router do have wireless LAN scheduling  which can shut down the wireless network when not in use... But how can I do it?

Thanks

To set up scheduling:
1. Reserve device IP addresses ON the router under Setup/Networking.
2. Set up a schedule under Tools/Schedule on the routers web page. Customize your dates and times here.
3. Use Access Control under Advanced to apply the customized schedule to a policy and to the PC(s) desired to be controlled.

Thanks for the reply, but if I understand correctly, you are showing me how to shut another device with the router (useful) but I'd like to turn of the router itself automatically.

Not possible with this or any router. Routers are designed to be ON 24/7.

If your really set on having the router turn on and off, I would suggest getting a 110v timer at your local hardware or electric store. They have scheduling for days and times that you could set up and connect to the power adapter for the router. I don't recommend doing this for these devices as it will probably wear the power adapter out sooner than later.
