Restricting a subset of Wireless users based on time of day

[Trooper]

I am trying to restrict some (but not all) Wireless users during off hours.

It’s a pretty basic setup with one SSID using PSK.

I want to allow traffic for certain users only from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Or in other words, I want to block traffic from Midnight to 7:00 AM, and from 5:00 PM to Midnight.

I thought a Group Policy Schedule would work, but having some trouble.

I created a Group Policy to block all traffic, but the scheduler will not let me set the times I want.

I can only set the time ranges once per day.

But I need two time ranges each day to do what I want, and the scheduler will not do that.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks

You probably have the schedule set up wrong.

Have you ever thought of simply making a schedule to disable the SSID?

Thanks for the quick response.

I know the schedule is not right.
I need a schedule that is Active from Midnight to 7:00 am AND from 5:00 pm to Midnight on the same day.
How do I do that?
I can only configure one time range per day, but I need two time ranges in the same day.

My understanding is that the schedule determines when the Group Policy is Active.
I need it Active two times a day.
I don't see a way to do that.

As far as disabling the SSID, that will not work.
I only want to restrict a few users, while allowing all others.
So I need the SSID active all the time.

Thanks

Using the group policy schedule, you can select disable for the state and then put in the times of 7am-5pm.

That easy the policy will be disabled during those hours and enabled outside of those hours

Thanks for that answer.
That is what I was looking for.

I didn't know it could work that way.

It's exactly what I sent to you on the documentation.  🤷

Thanks - I saw the other post before I got to read the doc.
Appreciate your feedback.
