Parental control to ban time usage limits?

I need to find out if it's possible to control the time of day internet gets used. As in with children connected with their cell phones. Can I control an 'after hours' stop to wifi?

    What's stopping them from using the cellular data.

  • Why would you say that? Of course parents want to do that.

    At my house the cell connection is weak at best. I'd like to turn off the wifi every weeknight at 10pm. I can see that it's easy on a Lynksis router, using the access restrictions function, but I don't see how to do it on the Orbi. Anyone know better way than Parental Controls? I find that interface clunky and difficult to setup.
