Software that can turn on and off my wifi at a certain time

[N3WGUY]

Hi guys, I'm looking for software to switch my wifi on by 00:01 to 05:59.

The reason why I want to do this is because my cellphone network offers me cheap data bundles from midnight to 6am. So I use my cellphone as a wifi hotspot so I connect with my laptop.

I have Internet download manager installed so I can set my direct downloads at a certain time, but if I want to do peer to peer downloading I can't set a timer for that.

Most of the time I'm asleep before midnight, so if I can have the files ready using normal rates and switch my wifi off and by midnight have my wifi switched on to actually download the files, and I will just have my cellphone give off a wifi signal before I sleep and have it on till I wake up, but my laptops wifi off before 6am so I don't use from my data after that.

What two types of network are attempting to be selected? Two different WIFI SSIDs or wired and cellphone SSID ?

Just the cellphone SSID. My plan is to use the normal rates my cell network offers just to download the file links then have my wifi switched off, add the file links to my peer to peer application that downloads them an at midnight have the wifi on to start downloading them

You can use windows task scheduler to run something at a specific time. Your best bet is probably using powershell. There are several MS TechNet articles on using PowerShell to enable and disable WIFI .... You will probably have to write some script.

thanks I'll read through those links, I thought there was some software out that does that so I don't have to write some script.
