Survey Join the Discussion: Wi-Fi Schedule Ideas Wanted!
Wi-Fi Schedule has been a popular request for Deco products and on ECO Mode 1.0, the first Edition of WiFi Schedule has been added to several models already. With the further intention to optimize the Wi-Fi Schedule and support this feature across more models, we are keen to know more about why you think Wi-Fi Schedule is essential, and your expectations for how this feature is to be implemented.
Morever, many users probably have learned that, most Mesh products remain a few hidden wireless signals for Backhaul only between Mesh APs. Disabling the wireless Backhaul signals would cut off the internal commutation between Mesh network, causing the disconnection of Mesh APs. The common design for Wi-Fi Schedule is to allow scheduling Wi-Fi networks while maintaining the wireless Mesh Backhaul signals. So far The final decision on whether to disable the wireless Mesh Backhaul under Wi-Fi Schedule is still pending. We would appreciate hearing your thoughts on whether you prefer to disable the Wireless Backhaul or not.

@David-TP This should be a standard feature for your routers and Deco devices. Turning off the WIFI at night reduces the unnecessary RMF waves during sleeping time.
This is not a question of whether it is needed; it is a question of when it will be available for DECO 50 PRO or any new development.
Your tether-compatible routers already have this feature.

@David-TP Hey Team, i recently added a deco m4 to my network in the hopes that it would be a better main deco for my other 3 dece e4's. i recall being able to monitor my monthly data usage with my e4's, I was very sad to see I could not do it with my m4, is this a feature that will be added, I really enjoyed it and I'm even looking at returning the m4 as I like this feature
kind regards
Mark

Hi, welcome to the community.
I remember the parental control/report settings of Deco E4 are similar to Deco M4. Did you save any screenshots of what kind of monthly data usage you used to view on the Deco E4?
---You could also temporarily switch the Deco E4 back as the main Deco to compare the difference:

Hi, Thank you very much for your time and patience.
I consulted with the engineer and he thought it should be related to the current firmware of Deco M4_V2_1.6.2.
If possible, I hope you could try to install the 1.7.0 beta version on the Deco M4_V2 to see whether it helps:

Wait for your reply and best regards.

@David-TP we really need this. We need to manage security and people behaviour in our house - this is usable through the scheduling. Nearly every router has this, I was shocked to find out the Deco series doesn't, just installed our 6 x S4 devices today, the router it connects to has this feature but our Deco's don't 🙁

I'd like to limit Wi-Fi speeds according to a schedule. I have a Guest Network set up, and would like it to be fast in the morning and slower at night. Reason being, I have a restaurant and would like to provide fast Wi-Fi to customers who come in with their laptops during the day, but at night is when it gets filled with regulars and I'd like to deter such customers (which usually occupy tables for long periods of time and don't order as much because they're working on their laptops).
It would also be useful to limit Wi-Fi speeds by grouping certain devices instead of having to create individual profiles for each one (I'd like to group staff members). I'd like to give them internet access but slow down the speeds so they can't do much with it and also restrict them from using certain apps (like TikTok).

@Wrayman this is what I want. Child to have their own SSID that turns off at scheduled time. My son bypasses the parental control by changing his MAC address on his Xbox.
