Billion 7800DX Wi-Fi Scheduling

Post by Philip_L »

Hi

I've looked over the 7800DXL manual and presume this is the same as the DX manual will be but just missing VPN references.

I like to turn Wi-Fi off overnight and during the working week when it isn't used, this is great for saving power, reduces heat, and useful to cut off children in the household from all Wi-Fi during the night. The 7800N has this option, allowing 2 schedules to be applied, perfect for a Mon-Fri and Sat/Sun to have Wi-Fi on at the most appropriate times.

The 7800DXL has lost this option, why? A nod to being green and power savings is added with various powersaving modes for the CPU etc, but one of the most obvious savings, turning off Wi-Fi when not in use (an even bigger saving if both 5GHz and 2.4GHz are in use), has now lost it's scheduling options.

Is this the same for the 7800DX? Have I just missed this option in the manual somewhere?

Regards

Phil
