How to set 12:00 midnight time in Kid Control?

Sun Dec 13, 2020 10:23 am

I'm setting up a wifi schedule on the Kid Control settings. How do you set the 12:00AM time.
Like for example, I would like to set the internet time for my kids starting from 6:00AM to 12:00 midnight.
If I set the time like this:
06:00:00-24:00:00
and click Apply, the it become like this:
06:00:00-1d 00:00:00
in this case, the WiFi will not turn off on 12:00 midnight, hence it will still continue.
I'm using hAP ac2 with the current stable version on RouterOS.

24:00:00 isn't a valid time. 12 am is 00:00:00.

24:00:00 isn't a valid time. 12 am is 00:00:00.
Just that it's not possible to use 00:00:00 in kid control ... because schedules don't like time wrap around. So one has to "shorten kids' life" by a second and set 23:59:59 as end of time interval.

You're absolutely right mkx, I just didn't check in WinBox when I replied. Oddly, I can enter 06:00:00 to 00:00:00 in the firewall schedule parameter without an error.

23:59:59 is also not accepted, it prompt that it is invalid to put a seconds. The problem is more on when the scedule should end at for example 2:00AM.
It will be like this:
06:00:00-23:59:00
00:00:00-02:00:00
There will be a 1 min. wifi off time and is annoying to a user.
How do you put 12:00 midnight or how can I make the schedule for 6:00am-2:00am the following day?Since 06:00:00-02:00:00 is also not accepted.

While not the best solution, could you not set a scheduler script to pause kid control then re-enable it a minute(or two) later.

setting like "07:00:00-1d 00:00:00" means for 7am and till the end of the day, so
FRI 07:00:00-1d 00:00:00
SAT 00:00:00-02:00:00
should extend "friday night" till 2AM Saturday with no interruptions
