Turn Off Wifi at Night
I have the Sky Max add on, however, I actually want to turn off the WIfi Signal (but not the Router) at night, and let signal come on again in the morning.
Sky Max lets you set up schedules for when the internet will work for all or specific devices, and that fine, however, just to be clear, I dont want the router emmitting Wifi during sleep hours, otherwise happy for it to continue working via ethernet etc.
Anyone know how this could be set up ?

There's no option to do so because that's not something the designers will have anticipated.
A workaround is to switch the Sky WiFi off entirely and then use a separate wireless access point (not another router) on a timer.

Re: Turn Off Wifi at Night
I have had my router plugged into a Tapo (TP-Link) smart plug which i scheduled to switch off overnight. But now I have WiFi cctv and don't want that disabled overnight, so I am resorting to outting the router inside an emf shielding sleeve, which works fine and doesn't cause the router to overheat. Sometimes the best solutions are not tech based.
Wifi frying your brain overnight is NOT a good idea.
