Using the wireless schedule function
The Wireless AC750 Dual-‐Band Range Extender is equipped with an integrated scheduler, which allows activating or
deactivating wireless service at specified times. How can this function be used? One example is setting up this device as a
wireless access point (see Section 4.3.2) for your children and, perhaps, their friends. You also have a WPA2 secured
wireless router in your home providing around-‐the-‐clock wireless and Internet access. Of course, you may “neglect” to tell
your kids what the password for the wireless router is, and you only tell them the password for the Manhattan wireless
access point. So if they want to connect to the Internet, it has to be done via the Manhattan device. And that is where the
schedule function comes in. The example below illustrates how to set up a schedule that allows wireless access from 6 am
to 10 pm from Sunday night to Thursday night, and 6 am to midnight on Friday and Saturday night.
To get started, you need to log in to the Web admin UI of the wireless range extender. See Section 4.1. Next, click
“Schedule” for either the 2.4G or the AC (5 GHz) radio.
Click the Enabled/Disabled button to activate the
scheduler, then select the day of the week for
which you wish to create the first schedule. In our
example, that would be “Sun.”
Next, define the time window (from … to), in
which wireless service is available. In our example
that would be 06:00 (6 am) to 22:00 (10 pm).
Check the enable box to activate this schedule.
Repeat the steps for the other days, as shown on
the left. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
