[Hidden-tech] Turn WIFi off and on

[Edbride-PR]

I agree that the electric timer may be the simplest way to to. The way to 
re-boot the router is by unplugging it, anyway; so, although rebooting 
doesn't occur daily, it seems like the circuitry should easily accommodate 
the on-off cycle. If it's programmed for time, I don't think you need be 
concerned with randomness.

Hi Diana,

Well, a lo-tech way might be to use one of those electric timers that people 
use to turn lights on and off when they're away. Just set it up between your 
wifi router and the outlet.

I haven't tried it myself, but it ought to work. If I'm not mistaken, those 
timers intentionally alter the timing each day to appear random so it might 
not be as precise as you want. Another concern might be whether the 
circuitry in the router can handle being turned on and off everyday. It 
would be interesting to hear what others have to say about that.
