How can I turn the wifi on and off for the JRS Eco 100 Era Router?

There are several ways to turn the JRS Eco 100 Era router’s wifi off and back on.

Using the WPS button on the router

On the JRS Eco 100 Era, the small WPS button on the back acts as a wifi on/off button. Press the button for 1 second to turn off the wifi. When successful, the wifi lights on the router will turn off. Press again to turn the wifi back on.

Even if the wifi has been turned off by the wifi scheduler, you can use the WPS button to turn the wifi back on.

Wifi Scheduler page in the settings menu

From the router’s settings menu, go to Eco 100 Wifi -> Wifi Scheduler and use the ‘Activate Wifi’ button (to turn it on) or the ‘Disable Wifi forced’ button (to turn it off). This has exactly the same effect as the WPS button.

To set up a time schedule for the Wifi Scheduler, see How can you set times on the JRS Eco 100 Era when the wifi turns off, for example at night?

Permanently deactivate a wifi band

It is possible to permanently deactivate an entire wifi band (2.4 or 5) if you wish, e.g. to reduce radiation even further. You can do this on the Eco 100 Wifi -> Wifi Networks page. See How do I change the wifi password, name, or other settings of a wifi network on the JRS Eco 100 Era?

Switching the wifi on and off with the WPS button will then no longer work for the deactivated wifi band.

Automatic Full Eco mode

If you turn off wifi on all your wifi devices (phones, etc.) so that the devices are no longer connected to wifi, the Eco 100 router will automatically go into 100% radiation-free Full Eco sleep mode. Once you turn wifi back on on one of your devices, the router’s wifi will automatically turn back on.
