WiFi Scheduling
« on: April 25, 2012, 05:06:00 AM »

A couple of suggestions...

The ability to turn wifi on / off on a schedule is great. However what would make it even better would be the ability to set a different schedule for weekdays and weekends. I'm at work during the day and so wifi doesn't need to come on till i'm home, but at weekends it needs to be on all day. My only choice at the moment is to either have it on all day, or setup a wired connection at the start of the weekend to change the schedule.

I was a little suprised to find that I'm still able to access the admin screen from a MAC address not  on the MAC filtering list. It'd be great if there were an option to prevent this. In a similar vein it would be good if there were an option to only allow admin from a wired connection.

Cheers.

Have you checked out Tools/Scheduling? This option is working well for me. This feature as been around for a while.

I presume one reason why any one can access the routers web page is for just that, accessing it in case there is any issues in the options that were set up, you can effectively go in and change settings. In case Mac Filtering isn't set up right, you still can access it. I believe all DLink routers do this.  ;)

Hi,
Thanks for the response. These weren't complaints, just suggestions for improvements.

The tools / scheduling is where I've set up my schedule.  I'd like to have my wifi come on at 8:00am at weekends but not until 6:00pm during with week, without having to manually apply a new schedule.

Are you saying I should be able to do this?

Cheers

John

You'll need to manually create a rule for each time frame you need.

Thanks, that what I thought.

Could you still pass my suggestion on as a possible improvement for the future?

Cheers

Hi sorry for being a bit dumb but where's the feedback thread?

I original posted both of these suggestions in 'FORUM USER REQUESTS and BUGS' but they were moved here.
