Internet blocking per device at specific times
Is there any way to block a device from access the internet at specific times?
All I can find is a blanket block with 1 device allowed, however:
I have 8 devices connected; 2 desktops, 2 phones, 1 iPad, 2 other tablets, and one console.
I want to block 1 of the desktops, the iPad, the console and the 2 tablets from connecting at night time, but still allow the remaining devices to have internet access...
Any way to do this?
Hi dominic2005,
There is no specific feature on the router that can do this. However, you can setup address reservation for the devices then block all the services on a specific schedule. You can check the links below.

Hiya.
Thanks. I have just tried all that, not sure where I went wrong but it had zero affect.- DexterJBNETGEAR Moderator
Hi dominic2005,
1. Were you able to successfully do the address reservation?
2. Were you then able to set the schedule you want some devices to not be able to go online?
3. Were you able to set the Block Services feature to "ALL" for the devices on the specific IP address range?
