Feature Request: Block or allow individual devices based on time schedule
I have an R7500 Nighthawk router that works beautifully. But one feature I miss is the ability to block individual devices based on a time schedule. There is a feature to block ALL devices on a time schedule, but not individual devices. Please consider adding that feature.
For example, I want to block my 2 kids Ipods between 9pm and 7am on school nights, and 10pm and 7am on weekends, and allow all other devices. Unless I'm missing something, this is not currently possible

Netgear Product Management: please take a look at this community Neatgear forum topic, it has been viewed 22000 times. Some customers there have really strong feelings. You will understand that this feature is sorely missed.
I completely agree. This is a feature that is found on every other vendor's product (Linksys, D-Link, Asus, etc.). I really hope NetGear can add this very important feature for every family that has children. The Parental feature no only doesn't block per device but the porn filter (through OpenDNS) is not very good. It allows way too much to pass through, even after setting the filter level to the highest setting.
Please make this a part of your next firmware update. My kids are streaming me into the poor house!
- I completely agree with you and definitely it's a needed feature to bring more easy processing through the acts. Getting the feature option to block all devices is a effective one, no doubt about that but without a single device blocking the entire use becomes less valuable. I do work for a professional resume writing service (website) and I have to use some kind of tools during various work processes. Hope this feature will be enables sooner rather than later. Eagerly waiting for the chance to make use of that advanced single device blocking option.
I gave the D7000 and need to block the Mac on sons Xbox. Please add this feature
