Hi @viththahan

How to Schedule SSID Broadcast Time in RUCKUS One

📍 Use Case:

Control when an SSID is broadcast/active — ideal for schools, guest networks, or time-restricted access (e.g., 9 AM–5 PM only).

🔧 Steps to Configure SSID Scheduling in RUCKUS One:
Login to RUCKUS One:

Navigate to Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Networks (SSID List).

Locate your existing SSID, and Select the SSID and click Configure edit to open its settings.

Go to the Venues section of the SSID configuration.

Under the Venues field, you will see Scheduling set to “24/7” by default.

Click on the Clock icon 🕒 below to the schedule.

In the Schedule Editor, customize the time when the SSID should be broadcast/enabled:

Set days of the week (e.g., Monday–Friday).

Define start time and end time (e.g., 08:00 to 18:00).

You can add multiple time ranges if needed.

Click Save and Apply the configuration.

🧠 What Happens Next:
The SSID will only broadcast and allow connections during the configured time windows.

Outside of the schedule, the SSID will be completely disabled (not hidden — disabled at the AP level).

🔁 Optional Tip:
If multiple APs share the same venue, all will follow this schedule unless venue-specific overrides are configured.
