The JRS Eco 100 Era has a Wifi scheduler/timer, which allows you to schedule times when the wifi turns off, e.g. at night, and turns back on, e.g. in the morning. This allows you to ensure that the router turns off the wifi even if there are still wifi devices connected. The wired ports will continue to function as normal.
- Log in to the router’s settings screen.
- Go to the Eco 100 Wifi – Wifi Scheduler page and check the box next to ‘Enable wifi schedule’ under the heading ‘Global Settings’.
- You can set the rules under the heading ‘Schedule Rules’. You can create different rules for different days of the week. There are two default example rules: ‘Business Hours’ and ‘Weekend’. By checking ‘Enable’ for a rule, you activate it. You can also edit or delete a rule. To create a new rule, click on the ‘Add’ button at the bottom.
- In most cases, you will want to check ‘Force disabling wifi even if stations associated’: disable wifi even if there are still devices connected. Otherwise, the router will wait to disable it’s wifi until there are no more devices connected.
- When you are finished, click ‘Save & Apply’ at the bottom to save everything.
There are also three buttons under Global settings:
- ‘Activate wifi’: This allows you to manually enable wifi, thereby overriding the Wifi scheduler. It has the same effect as pressing the WPS button on the back of the router.
- ‘Disable wifi gracefully’: This causes the router to wait until the last device logs off the wifi, and then it will turn off the wifi.
- ‘Disable wifi forced’: This causes the router to turn off the wifi immediately. It has the same effect as pressing the WPS button on the back of the router.
