Schedule AP's Wifi on/off times managed centrally by router was created by techcareict
Hi, Is it possible to manage Access point and router Wifi on/off schedules direct from a Vigor2862 saving the need to make any changes to times on each device individually?
To explain further we have a client with multiple sites with Vigor2862s and are intending to add extra Wifi Access points by Ethernet cable to each site ( up to 3 at each site).
The 2862's are configured with wifi On/Off times for one of the SSID's and these times often need to be reconfigured and changed.
I want the ability to change this schedule preferably at the 2862's schedule and any changes be propagated to the connected AP's.
Any advice much appreciated

There are a variety of Draytek Central Management tools (Vigor ACS, Vigor Connect, Central AP management built into their Routers and 'Mesh'). I had a quick glance through a few of these, but couldn't spot where you'd enter the information

Thanks for your input but I found the same which if true is very dissapointing and a big missing feature in the AP management from a central point such as a router.
Furthermore manually configuring each APs schedule on that particular AP individually would be an option for now in our case although it would increase the time changing schedules drastically
and on the AP800 at least there is no way to schedule
to disable a particular SSID and leave the others enabled.
Could someone confirm if this is true for other APs or if later AP models can be scheduled to disable particular SSIDs and leave the remaining SSIDs enabled?
if so which models?
