Possibility to schedule guestwifi?

[Berggren]

Hi guys!

First I like to say that my first language isn´t English so please bare with me regarding the grammatical and spelling errors I will make.

The question I have is if there is any chance to be able to schedule tha guestwifi in the same manor that I can do with the ordinary wifi using the parantal controls?

I have limited the kids access to the wifi in the following way.
ON 8 - 9
OFF 9 - 10
ON 10 - 11
And so on during the day to eventually shut off completely 8´oclock at night.
This to make them leave the devices for a period of time and not risking them to sit in front of the internet all day every day
This works great and they don´t complain at all.
But now I would like to be able to do so with the guestwifi also, so their friends can use our internet in the same way without granting them access to our internal network.
Is this doable?
I know some suggests using 5GHz as the guestwifi since you can control the amount of time using the parental controls there but I use our 5GHz on some of our devices so it´s really a no go for me.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

There are several threads describing techniques on how to control the Guest Wifi access though use of scripting.

e.g. via cron schedule

Option 1. Auto Change/rotate the Guest SSID password
Option 2. Silently block/disrupt the Guest SSID traffic
Option 3. DISABLE/ENABLE the Guest SSID/Radio

Options 2 will only affect the clients connected to the target Guest Wifi SSID, whereas option 3 (and possibly 1) will temporarily impact ALL router Wifi conecections.

Options 1 and 3 are described:

Option 2 may not be instantaneous/comprehensive, but is sufficient to stop Youtube! i.e. the current Youtube video may continue to play but should prevent a new video from starting:

Here is my scripting which allows for option 1 or 3

e.g schedules

cru a Guest242OFF1900 "0 19 * * * /jffs/scripts/GuestAccess_ON_OFF.sh wl0.2 off"
cru a Guest242ON0800  "0 8  * * * /jffs/scripts/GuestAccess_ON_OFF.sh wl0.2 on force"
cru l
0 19 * * * /jffs/scripts/GuestAccess_ON_OFF.sh wl0.2 off #Guest242OFF1900#
0 8  * * * /jffs/scripts/GuestAccess_ON_OFF.sh wl0.2 on force #Guest242ON0800#
