is there way set up hours on wifi?

We're a non-profit for homeless. We offer free wifi in our facility. Lately, we've been experiencing an influx of our clientele utilizing our wifi in the parking lot over night. Is there a way to set a timer on the wifi to turn off at a certain time and turn on at another?

Hi,

What management platform are you using? You can setup a WLAN schedule profile in SmartZone, ZoneDirector, Unleashed or Cloud.

Below is a WLAN service schedule example in Ruckus unleashed for Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm.

You definitely can do it. But as it doesn't add any costs to you, when WiFi is used, why do you want to limit it?

I would also consider turning down the power on your AP(s)...that will help reduce the coverage area.
