Draytek kit can do things like this, but it's not cheap. There is a simple solution: get a wireless access point for the second wireless LAN and power it from a time switch. There's nothing like a physical switch if you want control. It has the added advantage that it will probably have its own DHCP server (separate sub-net), and can be on a different frequency. If you have a multi-SSID network running on one piece of kit it'll all go through a common RF stage, which means it'll all be on the same frequency. Back OT, you can also connect a separate access point to a BSD box running squid and IPFW and control access that way. FWIW I've recently bought a few TP-Link "Wireless Range Extenders" (Model TL-WA830RE - Version 2). They're sold to the luser market to increase the range of domestic routers by acting as radio bridge, but flip the flag for expert mode and they become a pretty competent access point for not a lot of dough.
