Powering down router from WIFI

[Luboknok]

Is it possible to power off the router from within the router admin page over WIFI?

I want to shut it off when I go to sleep and manually power it on in the AM.

As far as I'm aware there is no way to power off the router from software.

You could always try a wi-fi enabled switch like a WeMo. Use the switches app to power down the router and then manually turn it back on.

Electronic equipment generally lasts longer if left on all the time, so if you want to power down to prolong the router's life, it may well have the opposite effect. And if to save power, I'm sure the saving would be minimal and probably offset by having to buy a new router earlier than anticipated.

Could just disable the Wifi via the Wireless Scheduler via Wireless->Professional.
