Turn off WiFi on Airport Extreme, Time Capsule

On my older Asus router there was a switch on the side of the unit that shut off the WiFi radio which we did every night.

I just got a new Airport Extreme, Time Capsule and I was wondering if there was a way to shut off the wireless so that the radio won't transmit or receive at night? I know there is a function to disable the internet at night, but I still can see the base station (just not connect to it) so I know the radio still is on.



How do I shut it off at night or on a schedule minus unplugging it from the wall?



Thanks!

Hello,

I believe there's a radio schedule you can apply similar to:

Unless that was the same thing you were referring to ;)

Edit: Actually, looking again, that just prevents specific MACs at specific times. Is there any particular thing you are worried about disabling this every night? Most routers have a 'radio schedule' where you can define when they are broadcasting but I'm not that familiar with the Apple gear.
