Is it possible to turn off the wifi at night and have it auto turn on again in the morning?

Looking to turn off the wifi completely during the night automatically (as opposed to unplugging every time), not just blocking certain devices at certain times as in bedtime mode

Hi amandamutsaerts 

I'm assuming you're using the BlueCurve Gateway modem, but if you have a different modem please let us know! You could set up a profile with all of your devices if you don't need multiple profiles, and then assign bedtime modem to them for specific hours. You can find the steps for that here if you need them https://community.shaw.ca/docs/DOC-18191

Is there anyway to do this? I.e. disable wifi at certain times or manually without powering off the gateway?

@The_Big_3 @Rsbcsurrey @ROYD785 Bedtime mode is recommended to limit internet use on the BlueCurve modem. You can still certainly disable the WiFi by unchecking the "Broadcast WiFi Name" when accessing the settings here.

Did the moderator even read this. The reply looked like a sale pitch to buy more junk.

dear Shaw:

tell us how to shut the WiFi Router OFF
Explain to us how to save electricity, and reduce the annoying fan turning inside of its drive. 
then go for a coffee.

Think of outdoor lights during Christmas.

An inexpensive mechanical timer is used to power-off the lights at 11 PM, and to power-on those lights the next evening, around dusk. Borrow that timer, reset its "timing-points", and use it to control electrical power to your BlueCurve.

Apparently you can configure-bridge-mode-on the bluecurve gateway. I want to turn the wifi off to ensure less of harmful EMF's for no reason while we are asleep.

As far as I am aware, there is no wireless scheduler in the bluecurve modems that will actually disable the wifi network/antennas. The bedtime scheduler just blocks specific ports/devices from accessing the wi-fi which is always on. The solution is to get a second router (ex. linksys) which has a proper wi-fi scheduler that will actually turn off your wireless networks at specified times. Then you can disable the bluecurve wifi completely in it's settings page and enable bridge mode on port 1 of the bluecurve. Tech support should be able to help you with that process.
