RBK753 How to block devices on a schedule?

I enabled the Access Control and block some devices, then I setup a schedule to allow those devices once a week but its not working. Is there any way to do that?

 

Thanks

    Basically you go to orbilogin.com > Advanced tab > Security > Access Control, select Turn on Access Control and choose what devices you want to control.Then go to schedule and select Days to block, then Time of day to block and add your start and end times there in 24 hour format. 

    Although I have no need for it, I tested it here on my RBK753 system and it works fine.

      I don't know how you manage to do it. Because the Schedule help reads 

      "Schedule Help

      If you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites screen or service blocking on the Block Services screen, you can set up a schedule for when blocking occurs or when access is not restricted."

       

      The schedule only work for block sites or block services not for blocking the device to connect to the internet.

       

      Any other idea?

       

      Thanks
