I've tried two rounds of typing-in-the-box-to-a-tech-support-guy-in-India (total time - three hours) so am hoping I can actually get an answer from you guys.
I have a BT Home Hub 2, and all I want to do is turn off my Wi-fi at night.
By this I mean turn off the transmitter in the hub, NOT just stop individual devices from connecting
Step One:
Log into 'Hub Manager' (192.168.1.254) in a browser tab
Go to 'Advanced Settings>Access Control'- I'm told 'Access controls are now managed using the app'
Step Two:
Get the 'My BT' app [We'll gloss over what a colossal PITA setting up the app was..]
In the app go to 'Your wi-fi network > Control wi-fi access'
On this page I get a list of the 'X devices now connected to your wi-fi'
I can go into each device individually, and there are various options to pause wi-fi access at times of my choosing. Great.
However, it's NOT permitted to pause access for the device you're using to run the app - so that means its permanently connected - and there's NO option I can see to just switch off the entire wi-fi network at a specific time.
This seems absolutely crazy- do I really need to power off the router every night, and turn it back on in the morning (or use a timer on the plug feeding it to do this)?
Surely there's an option to just switch off the transmitter - what am I missing?
