Access Control automatically turn on/off by schedule
I really like the Access Control feature, which allows me to block access to internet for my childrens devices (selected by MAC address) during the night, while at the same time still allowing my wife and I to access internet. But, is there a way to have Access Control turn on/off automatically each evening? It seems that if you could just allow it to be connected with the existing Schedule feature this would be real simple to add. If this is not currently possible, can you PLEASE add this ability to the WNDR3400v3? Or is there a better way to do this?

I know LinkSys router has this feature. I used it before. It can set up several profiles based on IP addresses. Those selected IP address will be blocked based on schedule and browsing domains.

There is a way to set a schedule with NETGEAR, though it's lengthy: http://www.pcwrt.com/2015/12/how-to-set-internet-time-limit-on-netgear-router/
