RV180 VLAN

[Terp84Alum]

Can a single VLAN be set to disallow traffic say after business hours? I'm considering the product for a client's coffee shop. I'd like to shut down the VLAN carrying the free WiFi traffic after hours.

Hi Terp, although you cannot specifically disable a VLAN, the router has some features for schedules. If you intend to use a RV180W, you can schedule a SSID to be active during certain times.

Additionally, you may create an outbound firewall rule to block the entire VLAN 2 subnet during specified time. Check out page 80 of the admin guide and scroll through the next few pages

The keyword you want to identify is "schedule".

Thanks. Not a W. I would have the 3 APs on their own VLAN. Looking at the document (thanks), it looks like I would create a rule: block, by schedule, otherwise allow. Thanks for the great answer.

Why can't I use the "Correct" button on your post? I get a server error.
