Survey [SURVEY CLOSED] 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.

This feature was available on my previous router and we used it to reduce "noise" in the house when we are sleeping. It does make a difference. SInce installing the deco several family members have started having headaches, and I suspect this is why. So it saves power, and improves health. Also, it makes things more secure, as the network is not open to intrusion during this time. It would be awesome if this was an option at the band level... 2.4,5 and 6, and would love to be able to have the IoT network always up (because it is used to control lights/etc on a schedule and needs to be up 24x7. I understand the app on the phone is used to control settings and it is connected via wifi, however there is the web app that can be updated to control this as well. The satellites could also be programmed to turn on wifi every X (configuratble) minutes to ping the base and see if there has been a schedule change.
Thanks for considering this option.

@David-TP I have two use-cases for a scheduling feature. (1) Being able to schedule "down-time" for my family where no devices can access the Internet would be really helpful for encouraging/enforcing good habits. (2) Similar to home thermostats and other IoT devices, it would be great to suspend/pause Internet access when everyone is away from home (like if we left on vacation etc.). Ideally, I'd love to have these features integrated with Apple HomeKit and/or Google Home or IFTTT.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
Can I have the model number and firmware version of your Deco?
Here is a feature-" Camera Security" on some models- Camera Security: It Secures Wi-Fi Cameras, But Not Just For Cameras. It might be helpful in Case 2.
For Case 1, the current WiFi Schedule can set a Wi-Fi "down-time" however, it doesn't work for the Ethernet connetion.
Best regards.
