Set Up A Wifi On/Off Schedule For A 5 Ghz Ssid - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Set up a WiFi on/off schedule for a
5 GHz SSID
If the operation mode of the AirBridge is AirBridge master or access point, you can set
up a WiFi on/off schedule. Scheduling a 5 GHz SSID to be turned off is a green feature
that allows you to turn off WiFi during scheduled vacations, office shutdowns, on
evenings, or on weekends. If more than one 5 GHz SSID is available, you can set up and
manage a WiFi on/off schedule for each 5 GHz SSID.
Before you enable and set up a WiFi on/off schedule, make sure that the time zone
settings are synchronized with your local time. For more information, see Manage the
date and time settings on page 108.
To set up a WiFi on/off schedule for a 5 GHz SSID:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Management, select WiFi Schedules.
A page displays the Auto Reboot Settings section and the Wi-Fi Scheduler section.
5. In the Wi-Fi Scheduler section, select the following:
• Status. Select the Enable radio button.
By default, the Disable button is selected, and the settings are masked out.
• SSID Selection. From the SSID Selection menu, select the 5 GHz SSID to which
the WiFi on/off schedule must apply.
