Why not just enable the wifi on the router, and use a timer switch to power on and off the router at regular times? How about also using a power socket that has a remote? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

I googled "router turn on turn off wifi perl script", and found these: http://fixunix.com/wireless/253195-script-disconnect-linksys-wrt54g-wireless-router-windows.html http://www.mofeel.net/1156-comp-security-firewalls/227.aspx -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!
