Hello, thanks for requesting.
The wireless schedule or on/off feature is not available yet, and it is suggested to wait for the updates.
Or as some others suggested, you may try to get a smart plug and set an on/off schedule on it, then plug the Deco into that smart plug, it will allow you to turn on/off the Deco at the scheduled period.
Good days.

@Gudrun naah. Aint gonna happen. It's one of the many things users have been asking for, or bugs that *really* need to be fixed. Bugs and feature requests that are open for over a year. TP link keeps coming up with excuses for why they are still not implemented ( favorite TP link answer : 'keep an eye out for app udates' !) There are numerous (long) threads on those subjects. Go and have a look for yourself to seen how old these threads are.
So , in short. Dont expect it to happen.
This reply should be the real 'solution' btw

i unfortunately confirm you're right. I started googling how to turn off my m5 via alexa (found nothing), then via ifttt (found nothing) then via the app, and I ended up here. I saw a post from 2019 that an "upcoming" release would fix it, and was convinced that in the next pages a solution would appear. More than a year has passed, so many people keep on asking the same thing "I DO NOT WANT TO SLEEP WITH THE RADIO ON" and all the same Tp link excuses come up. The best one is "turn it off with the hard button" and the second best is "get a smart plug" which BTW I have done but would not call it a proper solution, let alone a "tp link response to the question"

@TP-Link_Deco I have been waiting for a year for you to update your firmware so I can turn of the radio transmitters on my three M9 access points. I purchased these units because I was told it's in the works and will be available shortly. You need to start taking your users intended experiences seriously or they will move on to another company that is willing to listen and make the changes users want. Turning off Wifi radios on a set schedule while users sleep is a major request by users of WiFi access kings.
I will wait till 07/01/2021 for TP-Link to add the scheduling feature to the M9 Access Point. Past that date, without a fix, I will sell my M9's and find a technology company that cares enough to listen and produce an AP that allows me to control what I've purchased and own.
Sincerely,
Howard

Adding on to this. A feature to simply turn off the wifi radio on the access points and only allow access thorugh ethernet is essential.

Come on @TP-Link get this fixed. Parental control on Deco devices is broken when there is A) no default profile, restrictive profile for new devices and B) access to wi-fi cannot be controlled with a schedule.
Any device with MAC address "privacy" or any kid with a little knowledge or any new device brought into the home renders parental control useless.
Stop brushing off your users with non-answers like "wait for update" (for years) or "get a third party solution".
Fix your product.
