Want scheduled Wi-Fi router restart option in Smart Home app

After signing up, I got the "Take your AT&T home internet to the next level" email. The first suggestion is to restart the Wi-Fi router every couple weeks. Aside from manually pushing a button/pulling the plug, or awkwardly adding an external electrical power-off timer, this can be done within the Smart Home app. But only manually.

Please add a programable recurring scheduled restart option to the app, so the Wi-Fi router will automatically restart when set - for example every other Sat at 4am.

Which by itself is a bad suggestion unless the Wi-Fi router has a defect, that requries a restart in this manner.

On the other hand, my 5268AC runs into 5GHz Wi-Fi issues every couple of months. I just turned that radio off and use a third party Wi-FI router.
