Broken Parental and Access Controls RAX45 - New MACs can always connect
Hello Everyone I have not had much luck with support so turning to the community. I run two netgear RAX45s in my house (switched recently from TP link with Circle) to find a better mobile app suppor...
Hi,
They are completely separate networks with unique SSIDs. This my my short term solution, the 2nd router the kids do not have access to it supports my home office and our always on devices. With that setup I do not share the network password to kids, when I have to I can physically disconnect the uplink from the "kids" router to the outbound WAN router; basically doing manual off time (not ideal).
This is not optimal because I do like to give my kids some time on weekends past the time I go to bed so I want them to have access to their devices and internet just in a healthy moderation.
The only thing I can thing of unless I'm not doing something correctly is setting up a schedule to block services and try and block output TCP/UDP ports in the router; that may possibly kill all outbound connections past a certain time.
Currently I try and turn off their access by 1am on summer hours, so they are getting plenty of access time.

That does not eliminate the double NAT issue.
You still have two routers on your network.
You can still create separate SSIDs if you put one of the routers into AP mode. Then you use the router one to control what the kids get up to.
