I would like to find a workaround in order to have an "advanced SSID scheduler" to activate wireless connections at different times depending on the day. There currently is only one single setting available, which activates a wireless network at the same time every single day, 365 days/year... Even on weekends and during the holidays.
I actually managed to program an access rule to slightly modify this behaviour, but I can't manage to disable the signal completely, and connections are still active (on specific applications, at least), which is a real issue to me.
This is the access rule I have currently set:
Connection type: Outbound
Action: Block by schedule (using a different schedule than the one set on the basic wireless settings)
Service: Any
Source IP: Address range (all the devices I want to control with the rule)
Destination IP: Any
This rule works, but when the "off" time triggers, if a device was connected on facebook Messenger or on Skype, it will keep the connection and not lose it as expected. Actually, facebook Messenger will still accept incoming messages, but won’t send outgoing messages.
Of course, I’d like to make sure the wireless signal is completely blocked...
Any suggestion?
