Turning Wifi off

ARoo — Sat, 09 Nov 2024 12:23:55 GMT

Previously we were able to turn Wifi off and on easily.

Now we are unable to. Despite un-ticking all the following:

- Enable WiFi Access Point

- Enable WPS

- Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)

It turns off, then immediately turns itself back on again.

We want to turn the Wifi off at night time.

Does anyone have any ideas on why this is no longer possible and how to fix it? Thank you.

@ARoo check you are turning off both bands not just onr. Rebooting is slways a good idea when trying to clear issues. If still stuck which colour hub do you have?

A potential workaround is to switch the Sky WiFi off entirely and then use a separate wireless access point (not another router) on a timer.

Yup it is on both bands.
