Hi there,
I want my router to be scheduled this way: it goes off by 2am till 6am. I been looking into similar topic but i couldnt find solution for mu situation sorry.
There is no anacron on openwrt.
You can use sleep $RANDOM instead
But there normally should not be resource hogging under OpenWRT in the long run, so keep your reboots to upgrades (like finest auc , or owut in later versions) only and try hard to stabilize normal operations.

Can you clarify what your goal is when you say "it goes off"?
- do you want the entire router to be powered off?
- Is it just wifi?
- Is it just internet connectivity?
There are means of scheduling firewall changes and/or turning on/off wifi. If you want the device to physically power off, the best way to do that would probably be an external power-switch timer device (one that does not require internet access to remain time-sync'd).

Sorry for providing less information,
Yes my main goal to stop internet access for whole network " pi r4 openwrt router aswell "
My whole home network connected to the openwrt router and i wish to make this schedule automatically
Thank you sir
Use a time based firewall rule to enable/disable the forward allowance from lan > wan.
This could cause a problem if the Pi ends up rebooting or being powered off (such as with a power glitch/outage)... The Pi does not have a real-time clock, so if it isn't allowed to reach the internet, the time cannot be set accurately and it may not re-activate internet access correctly.
