Turning the wifi off on my computer only affects my computer, not the entire house
Which router is this? Many routers have a switch on the top that doubles as a Wi-Fi indicator. Just press that and the kids are disconnected, along with everyone else.
Your call, but the general advice is to leave a router on all the time. The theory is that the act of switching things on and off is more likely to cause failures than an "always on" regime.

Netgear has anticipated this scenario and offers subscriptions to Smart Parental Controls that let you schedule on/off time.
