Hi,
I followed this youtube instruction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZJ-pM89N7o to set up Guest WiFi network.
How do I schedule the working hours for the network?
I want it to be on between 8am and 22pm everyday.
I would really appreciate step by step instruction, I am very new to mikrotik.
Thanks
Re: How to schedule Guest WiFi network?
I can think of two ways.
1) Create two schedulers: one that disables the interface for your guest network at 22pm, and the other that enables it back on 8am.
2) Create two entries in access list for your guest wifi interface: one with authentication=yes and the time interval, when you want it to be working, and the other one with authentication=no placed under the first one (no need to specify time).
The downsides of the way 2
- The interface just won't accept connections, but still will be running and visible.
- If you have multiple wlans/SSIDs on this device, not only guest one, you will need to add entries in access list for them as well - with authentication=yes without any other conditions.
