Blocking services on guest network
A big thank you to those who have responded to my previous post.
I am trying to block the internet at night so that my kids are not distracted. I have assigned some fixed IPs to a few devices on the main network. I use this knowledge to block the IP range on main network 192.168.1.xx
My kids figured out that they can sign in to guest network and bypass this block. I need to keep the guest network ON as there is some use for it. But when I try to block services on guest network it doesn't allow me. It doesn't recognize 192.168.2.xx IP addresses. Can someone help me why this is not happening?
Thanks!
