Limiting internet connection hours by MAC address on Orbi RBK50
I have a Netgear Orbi RBK50 wireless router and satellite, FW v2.7.4.24.
I have two young children, and would like to turn off their internet access at different times of the day (based on their device's MAC address) to facilitate homework, chores, bedtime, etc. We (the parents) frequently are doing other chores and need to be able to force them offline, as the children are not diligent clock watchers (yet).
Is it possible to turn off the internet at different times of day based on their device's MAC address?
If so, what is the procedure? If not, does any Netgear router have this capability?
