Is it possible to limit or kill the output from AP's after hours?

Is it possible to limit or kill the output from AP's after hours?

After a potential hacking attempt I've been asked to look into reducing or disabling the coverage area of AP's after business hours.

The AP's are all on power bricks, so that rules out doing anything with the switch I guess. This is not a function I remember or can find on the Controller, but wondered if anybody had any bright ideas?

Obviously they would need to extend their coverage in the morning.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dewald, It looks like you found your answer in the "How to disable/enable wireless services during specific times" article, which was shared in this thread. Just want to make sure.

I have been looking for a guide on how to deploy exactly what you are talking about Charlie. Can you or perhaps anyone in the community point me to one or link to one?
Appreciated,

If you use RADIUS authentication you'd also add a restriction so access during the night is not allowed.
i.e. for Windows NPS add a date/time restriction in the network policy....
