MAC Address Filtering By Schedule on CG3000DV2
I am trying to set up a schedule so that my son's internet is cut off at 10:30pm and then re-established the next day at 9:30am. I have gotten as far as adding the devices to the MAC filter list ...

As a crude work-around to your scheduling issue, you could change the router timezone to suit. So for example if you wanted a schedule to run from 23:00 to 01:00 you could shift the router timezone by two hours and set the schedule to run from 21:00 to 23:00.
Sorry but I’m not familiar with the CG3000 so don’t have an answer to your last question.

That is a great idea, however there is no way to change the time zone/time that I can see. I had to contact Netgear to get it fixed since it wasn't reflecting the correct time zone initially. maybe I should have left it alone, figured out the difference and gone from there!

If your router is intended for use with a specific ISP then maybe the firmware is locked to the timezone of that country.
Sorry but I don’t know of any easy ways to avoid that scheduling issue other than by a timezone change.

I don't know. I had a Netgear router that you could change the time, wrap the schedule over midnight and such. seems like whoever set up the software on this cable modem/router combo didn't think of everything older equipment could do.
But thank you for your suggestion!
