This feature would be incredibly helpful, and is very common on routers.
Specially, the ability to turn on/off access by device (not IP) based on a schedule. For example, I would like to automatically turn off access to the gaming console between 10 PM and 9 AM every day, turn off smartphone between 4 PM and 7 PM on weekdays, etc, etc.
Please advise.

Netgear...please advise if this option will be added.

You can always utilize the "Block Services" and "schedule" functions under the security tab of your router..
Create a rule to filter out all TCP service for specific IPs under the Block Services section and set it to "Per Schedule" , then go into the "Schedule" tab and set up the time frame you want things to be blocked..
Not quite as simple as some other router's parental controls, however provides the same results
