WiFi Schedules

Introduction

  • In February 2023 we introduced an enhancement to MESHdesk and APdesk that allows you to specify an optional schedule per SSID.
  • The schedule allows you to specify which times the WiFi radio will make the various SSIDs available to users.
  • Home deployments can have two SSIDs.
    • One will be used by the adults which does not have any schedule.
    • A second SSID can be used by the kids and have a schedule associated to it.
  • SME deployments can have a dedicated staff SSID with a schedule that matches office hours.

Applying A Schedule

  • To apply a schedule, simply select a Mesh or AP Profile and edit it.
  • On the Mesh network select an Entry Point to which you want to apply the schedule and edit it.
  • On the AP Profile select the SSID to which you want to apply the schedule and edit it.
  • There is a Schedule tab that allows you to enable the schedule and then which time-slots the SSID should be available.
  • After you set up the schedule to your liking, click OK to save the schedule.
  • Reboot the Access Points to which this schedule apply to allow it to fetch its schedule from the controller.
  • Any time you want to make a change to the schedule you ca simply edit the existing schedule, save it and reboot the Access Point for the changes to apply.
