enable or disable guest wifi on schedule

[alex3137]

Hello

Is it possible to schedule when the guest wifi is enabled ?

Thanks

You'd need to write a script to turn it on/off, then trigger that with CRON.
There's plenty of examples on the internet.

To just disable the guest network, you'll want to create an option called "disabled" under the wifi-iface and set it to 1, then restart the "wifi"

There's the "WIFI Schedule" plugin that can toggle wifi on a daily or weekly schedule. Maybe that one could be expanded to not only toggle the entire wifi, but also parts of it (guest, 2.4GHz, 5GHz).

Are you volunteering

But yes that would be one way of doing it.

Ok thanks I should be able to write this.

Can you confirm in which file and what is the name of the guest wifi interface ?

I looked in /etc/config/network and see nothing corresponding to the guest wifi interface.

It will be in /etc/config/wireless

It will be a section with a name of
"ap_gn_g" or "ap_gn_a"
The "gn" meaning Guest Network, and the G or A meaning 2.4 or 5GHz networks.
