Hi,

For this, you would need to set a crontab.

How to do it you will find here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/cron

The command you need to run with a crontab is wifi down in the evening and wifi up in the mornings.

I did not check, if the crontab is written correctly, but if you want to periodically turn WiFi on and of, you need to place the command you have written in the /etc/crontabs/root file with the following command:

echo "25 6 * * 0-6 /sbin/wifi up" >> /etc/crontabs/root

To check if the command is in the crontabs list, execute the following:

crontab -l
