Update:
Thank you for all your feedback.
The feature request for Wi-Fi schedule has not been accepted yet.
Deco is mainly controlled by Deco APP and the smartphone needs to connect to connect to Wi-Fi for local control.
And the frequently used backhaul for Deco Mesh is 2.4ghz/5ghz wireless backhaul.
Once they are disabled by WiFi schedule, satellite Deco units would fail to maintain a connection with the main Deco, and is unable to be back online after the Wi-Fi schedule.
Update:
Now, the engineers are collecting feedback to know more about why you think the Wi-Fi Schedule is essential, and your expectations for how this feature is to be implemented. Please share your ideas with us!

@Hubcap123.-_ You could get a smart light switch to automatically cut power from the Deco at night? (Unsure how you'd get it to resume power though, since it needs wifi for that)
Maybe do something with a raspberry pi and a relay if you're technically inclined?

@Hubcap123.-_ Hi All and TP-Link,
I have just bought the Deco M9 and seen that the turning WiFi off at night is a much requested feature since 2017 at least. It was slated as being developed and that it would be out in a future firmware once tested.
Is it possible that someone from Tp-Link could please advise if this is near completion? I am new to TP-Link and have been impressed by their support to date. However seeing that there are multiple threads requesting this since at least 4 years am slightly disappointed that there are no other updates regarding being abe to schedule turning off and on the WIFI signal during sleep. A key feature in my opinion especially in 2021!! Would lik eto know in case its not likely to be due as would source a system that is while i can still return the TP link. Love it for everything else.
Hope to hear back from someone who knows at Tp-Link Development team.
Thanks

@andersbrunn wish I read about this while I was in my return period. 4 years in development and still waiting.
An update from someone at tp-link would be good.
