Asuswrt: Schedule 2.4GHz Main Wi-Fi to Turn Off but Keep Guest Network Active

[Klonoa]

Hi everyone, I want to schedule the 2.4GHz main Wi-Fi to automatically turn off during certain hours. However, I noticed that when the scheduled time comes, not only the main network shuts down, but the Guest network also gets disabled.
My goal is: turn off the main 2.4GHz Wi-Fi while keeping the Guest network running.

Does anyone know how to configure this so that only the main Wi-Fi turns off without affecting the Guest network? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just curious, why ?

There may be parental controls section ( it has been a while ) where you can schedule a specific set of MAC / IP addresses to be allowed to access the radio during set periods. Don't recall anything that does that by SSID.

Scheduling the radio on/off is all or nothing as you found out.

Not possible. The 2.4GHz guest network uses the same radio as the main 2.4GHz network. The best you could do would be to disable access to the main 2.4GHz network, e.g. by changing it's password.
