Switching Wi-Fi off at night

[chris+fresh]

Am I able to stop Wi-Fi working at night

@chris+freshYou can manually switch it off via the router settings and leaving the router connected for wired devices. If you turn your router off each night the network might think there is a fault and reduce your speed to help make the connection stable.

Or, for convenience, switch off the Hub wireless permanently and attach a separate wireless access point over ethernet cable, then power this off and on as desired from either hardware button or mains socket.

I disabled Wi-Fi , but it's turn ed itself back on and im getting 150  download speed on sky router and only 50 on XT link router , is this normal ?

@chris+fresh occasionally Sky hubs will lose customer settings like wifi off when Sky apply an update shouldn't happen of course. Simply turn off the wifi again.

What is "XT link"? If it is a wifi access point then speeds thst delivers depend in many things like its specification, location and the layout of your home. If it is connected to the Sky hub by a fully wired ethernet lead then it should becable to access the full bandwidth of your connection up to 1Gb/s.

Sorry TP link router

A wireless access point rather than a router, hopefully.

Yes I believe it is an access point , not fully compos mentis with Wi-Fi equipment, I changed pass word and Wi-Fi name on sky router but when connecting to sky q with direct Ethernet cable the name on settings is something totally different? Any ideas

Not sure where you mean, but by default a TP-Link WAP will be broadcasting its own SSID (Network Name) and password unless these are changed manually.

Sky Q box directly connected to Sky router via Ethernet cable , when I go to network settings on Q box the network name is totally different to the name I have given sky router .
