It depends on the router/access point.

Most wireless routers/access points are managed via a web interface. 
You should be able to connect to your wireless router/access point with
a web browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.).  On my Netgear
wireless router there is a 'Schedule' configuration page, which appears
to implement this.

If you are concerned about leaching during off hours, you should
consider securing your wireless router/access point and configuring it
to require an encryption key (password) for access.
