    Block kid's access to the net!

    All,

    I have two out-of-control, night-time gaming, not home-working, slovenly teenagers who despite my best efforts, insist on staying up on a weeknight to 3AM gaming

    I have a Netgear DGN2200 modem which purports to block PC access to the net (via IP addresses) based on a schedule but which I've never got to work. It'll block all PCs but not individuals.

    I have assigned IP addresses to their PCs and I know the MAC addresses. I find the Modem's "connected devices" utility to be less that reliable.

    Anyway............all of the above is just a whinge!

    I need please, some recommendations for an ADSL modem that will allow me to block individual PCs based on a schedule.

    Cheers.

    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I just logged into my TP link TD8970 and found this. Is this similar to what you are after ?

    I've got the same TP-Link router as Debacle, and do use the block on schedule facility. There's also an ad-hoc block facility that I use when my 15yo is in the bad books.

    Just turn the modem or router off when you go to bed. Ours is in our bedroom so we have full control over it. Now the youngest is working full time, he goes to bed quite early now, so I don't need to.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I do that now (when I crack it).....but I'm an "early to bed/rise" sort and 9 PM seems a little too harsh for a grade 12er and uni student.

    I use the block schedule on my netgear when I have my grandkids here. Otherwise they use my months data allowance in two days. Seems to work OK, but I had to change the password after they guessed it.

    You've nailed the problem in one...

    Your router blocks use based on IP addresses or MAC address, not user. This means you will not be able to stop the kids from using your devices to access the Internet if you manage to configure your router to lock them out.

    My brother has a similar problem with his eldest. He has installed some software (Symantec, I think) which can limit access by time. I think it can also limit access by amount of time connected, and bandwidth consumed. Try searching for Norton Family Premier...
