I would guess all commercial routers and access points hae the option to automate something like that. So you only have to set it up once and it's not really much work (unless something breaks)

Yeah but that requires even less effort to automate than manually turning it off and on. But the point is why put in the effort at all to do this? I mean rhetorically because I know everyone just wants to push the homeless to “anywhere but here”
